A former employee has filed a lawsuit against a prominent window and door company, alleging violations of labor laws. Dale Wrazen initiated the complaint in the Circuit Court for the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on November 19, 2024, targeting Reece Builders East Coast Division, LLC, doing business as Reece Windows and Doors.

Dale Wrazen’s lawsuit centers around accusations that his former employer failed to compensate him adequately for overtime work. According to the complaint, Wrazen worked as a Measure Technician from September 26, 2021, until July 12, 2024. During this period, he claims to have routinely worked between 60 and 70 hours per week without receiving the legally mandated overtime pay of one and one-half times his regular hourly rate of $20 per hour. The plaintiff alleges that his uncompensated overtime amounted to approximately 1,300 hours over his tenure with the company.

Wrazen contends that his duties included not only on-site measurements but also extensive travel between job sites using a company vehicle and gas card. Despite these responsibilities extending beyond standard working hours and often into weekends—where he reportedly worked at least 42 Saturdays—he asserts that he was not compensated for this additional time. Furthermore, Wrazen highlights administrative tasks performed from home as contributing to his excessive workload.
