A trial date has been set in a case where a man claims he was never paid overtime by the Madisonville Ingles.

The lawsuit was filed in April in U.S. District Court by Nathan Gilliard, who said he has been a co-manager of the Madisonville store since January 2008 and that he regularly worked more than 40 hours a week and was never paid for it.

In his lawsuit, Gilliard said his duties during this time included maintaining control, oversight and direction of the store, including payroll and indicated other employees also worked under the same conditions. Ingles said this claim was invalid, as he identified no other employees in his lawsuit.

Gilliard is asking for all his unpaid wages, an additional 100 percent as liquidated damages, pre and post judgment interest, as provided by law, attorney's fees and costs and any other relief deemed just and proper by the court.
