About the NINJAONE FLSA Collective Action Lawsuit For Inside Sales Reps
Ohanmamooreni v. NinjaOne LLC, is a forthcoming FLSA collective action lawsuit to be filed in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida. Ohanmamooreni worked from the period of 2022 until 2025 as an inside sales representative (ISR) under the title of Sales Development Representatitive (SDR).
Ohanmamooreni suffered to work overtime hours off the clock without compensation throughout the term of his employment. As the proposed lawsuit contends, Ninjaone not only knew that Ohanmamooreni worked off the clock, it both pressured him to do and and encouraged it.
NinjaOne has a history of stealing wages from its hard working, non-exempt inside sales employees dating back to 2022 when it faced a near identical case in the Middle District of Florida in the case of Van Vlack v. NinjaRmm LLC d/b/a NinjaOne. In that case, Van Vlack and a group of numerous other present and former employees working as inside sales reps under various titles, were misclassified as salaried exempt employees in violation of the FLSA. NinjaOne settled this case in September 2022, with 9 plaintiff recovering a settlement amount for their unpaid overtime wage claims.
However, as Ohanmamooreni makes clear, thereafter NINJAONE did not change its ways, and continued to engage in schemes to avoid its overtime pay obligations to this class of workers – the inside sales reps, including SDR’s and Account Executtives, a position or job under the law which is universally held to be non-exempt from overtime pay under the FLSA.
Ohanmamooreni alleges that he was expected to input time for a meal break which he did not fully take, or worked through, which makes the time compensable and recoverable as overtime wages. Ohanmamooreni also alleges that the job required him to work more than 40 hours each week in order to meet or hit key performance metrics, and to hit sales goals. Management and HR, discouraged ISR from reporting overtime hours and from complaining of working off the clock, despite knowledge by sales managers of the same. Thus, Ohanmamooreni and other ISR routinely suffered to work hours each week, wehterh working after the ending shift time of 4:30 pm, including sitting in on demonstratations, or working through or during meal breaks while clocked out.
Ohanmamooreni seeks to recover all the unpaid overtime wages due him and all other inside sales reps (ISR), under the titles of SDR or Account Executives, or Account Managers who worked anytime during the period of November 2022 until November 2025. Ohanmamooreni also seeks to recoery the presumptive liquidated damages, meaning double the sum owed in wages, plus attorney’s fees and costs of the litigation.
If you worked as an inside sales employee or representative for NinjaOne under the title of SDR, AE, AM or any other title used to describe someone working in an inside sales psition, we want to hear about your work experience.

Understanding the structure and significance of the FLSA collective and class action case
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law enacted in 1938 to establish minimum wage, overtime pay, and other crucial protections for workers in the United States. Over the decades, it has played a vital role in safeguarding employee rights and ensuring fair compensation for hours worked. The current collective and class action lawsuit centers on allegations that certain employers failed to properly compensate employees for overtime work as required under the FLSA. This legal action brings together a group of affected workers, allowing them to pursue their wage claims collectively and seek justice for unpaid overtime. Collective actions under the FLSA empower employees by enabling them to band together and address widespread violations of labor law. By proceeding as a group, workers can more effectively challenge unlawful pay practices and promote greater accountability among employers.This lawsuit is significant not only for the individuals involved but also for its broader impact on workplace standards and employee rights across industries. A successful outcome may lead to increased compliance with wage laws and heightened awareness of workers’ legal protections.
