HARRISBURG — A former employee of a service provider for gas drillers is suing the company over allegations of unpaid overtime compensation.

Isaac Wright, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit on April 5 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania against Cenergy International Services LLC, citing violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act.

Cenergy International Services provides services at natural gas drilling sites. According to the complaint, Wright was employed by the defendant from August 2015 until January 2016.
