Corporate Officer Held Personally Liable

Butler v. Hartford Technical Institute, Inc., 243 Conn. 454 (1997)

Butler sued the company president, as well as the corporate entity, for non-payment of required overtime. The court held the president of the company -- which failed to keep and maintain proper records of overtime worked and to pay employees for that overtime -- personally liable for the enforcement of the state wage and hour laws because a "corporate officer" is the one ultimately responsible for setting the hours of employment and paying wages.
