Systems administrators for Computer Sciences Corp., which has operations in Meriden, filed a class action lawsuit Tuesday alleging that the company failed to pay overtime wages.
The suit says administrators performing hardware and software installations and other work often work late into the night and on weekends. They allege that CSC misclassified them as exempt from overtime pay.
CSC settled a similar lawsuit in 2005 for $24 million, according to the three California law firms representing the plaintiffs in the case, which was filed in New Haven U.S. District Court.
There are more than 100 potential members of the class, and claims exceed $5 million, according to the suit.
One of the two named plaintiffs is Farmington resident Timothy Colby, who worked for CSC from Oct. 2011 to Feb. 2014.
A CSC spokesman said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
