Security Guards Lawsuits

Forester Haynie understands the widespread wage violations that security officers face nationwide, including unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, misclassification, and sub-minimum wage pay due to illegal pay structures or deductions.

Many private security companies and contractors operate as third-party vendors, subcontractors, or regional franchises. These entities often oversee hundreds of guards across multiple states and locations, but fail to comply with federal wage and hour laws.

Security Companies Under Investigation

We are currently investigating claims that security professionals employed by the following companies may not be receiving lawful compensation for all hours worked:

  • Rogue Valley Manor
  • Invictus Protection Agency LLC
  • Whelan Security Co., d/b/a GardaWorld Security Services
  • 1st Security Services of Ohio, Corp.
  • The Renfrow Group, LLC
  • HSS Security LLC
  • Tatitlek Corporation
  • Inter-Con Security Systems, Inc.
  • American Guard Security

These companies may have required guards to work through breaks, arrive early for unpaid prep, or travel between job sites without pay, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). We are actively reviewing complaints and collecting evidence from current and former employees in support of potential class or collective legal actions.

If you have worked for any of the companies listed above and believe you were not paid properly, you may be eligible to join an investigation or lawsuit to recover back pay and damages.

Unpaid Wages for Security Officers

Security officers are essential to the safety of workplaces, communities, and public events. However, many aren’t being compensated for all the time they spend on duty. At Forester Haynie, we’re standing up for security professionals who have been:

  • Required to work before or after clocking in, such as setting up posts or completing reports
  • Paid a flat rate or shift pay that ignores the actual hours worked
  • Kept on-site during unpaid breaks or required to remain on-call without compensation
  • Denied overtime, even after logging more than 40 hours in a week
  • Misclassified as independent contractors or exempt to avoid overtime laws

These are not isolated oversights, rather widespread violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If this sounds familiar, you may be owed back pay, and we’re here to help you recover it.

How Forester Haynie Can Help with Security Guard Wage Violations

Security officers across the country are reporting serious wage violations, including unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, and misclassification. Forester Haynie has filed lawsuits under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) on behalf of security professionals facing these issues.

We’ve represented workers in industries where wage theft is common, helping them recover compensation for unpaid work. That includes security personnel, who are often required to work extended shifts, stay late, or arrive early without being fully compensated.

From post-shift reporting to mandatory on-site presence during unpaid breaks, the law is clear: time worked must be time paid.

If you believe your wages have been withheld or your hours undercounted, we’re here to review your claim and help you understand your rights. Contact us today for a no-obligation case review and free consultation.
