Michelle Thomas, A former TapouT sales representative who filed suit over a wage dispute with the action sportswear company was today awarded $3.2 million in damages (includes $840,000 in compensatory damages) by a Los Angeles Superior Court jury.
She maintained that she was not paid the commissions she was promised and was denied overtime for working as many as 70-plus hours some weeks during her eight months on the job.
Thomas also testified that employees were told to pay out of their own pocket for any television subscriptions needed to view the company's show on the Versus cable network, called "TapouT," as well as pay-per-view Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts.
Thomas said she was roundly criticized by a supervisor for not watching one required program on her birthday. She was fired in June 2008.
