An administrative assistant to former Portage County Executive Mark Maslowski alleges she is owed $43,000 in unpaid overtime compensation, according to a suit filed Friday in federal court.
Heidi Born-Smith, of Rudolph, contends she worked 1,560 overtime hours between June 2006 and April 2010 for Maslowski, but her paycheck never reflected any compensation in addition to her annual $38,266 salary.
Maslowski lost his re-election bid in April to Patty Dreier.
According to the complaint, Born-Smith worked largely as a secretary for Maslowski. She served as a receptionist answering phone calls, maintaining files and coordinating meetings and appointments. Although the Federal Labor Standards Act and the Wisconsin Wage Payment Law exempt some employees from overtime pay requirements, none of the exemptions apply to Born-Smith.
