Wage And Hour Class Action Lawsuits

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1431751490602{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1438930013690{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Violations of the laws that govern the minimum wage, overtime and any other issue that impacts employee pay rarely happen to just one person. If an employer is making mistakes or consciously disregarding its duties to its employees regarding pay issues, it is very likely that the issues are systemic and affect multiple current employees as well as past employees.

By clearly ascertaining the types of wage and hour violations an employer is engaging in, it is possible to identify other workers who may be victims as well. If the employer has been taking advantage of multiple employees, each employee’s case can be strengthened by combining them into a single class action lawsuit.

Class action lawsuits allow individuals to combine their claims. By combining multiple claims, a pattern of wage and hour abuses by an employer can be much more clearly illustrated.

Common wage and hour issues that can be the basis for a class action lawsuit include:

Examples of Recent Class Action Cases

  1. Unpaid Overtime – Class Action Cases against URS Corporation and Battelle Memorial Institute for unpaid overtime for off-the-clock hours worked by employees in doing work-related pre-shift and post-shift activities, and working through unpaid lunch breaks. These cases settled for approximately 14 million dollars.
  2. Unpaid Wages for all Hours Worked – Cases against Call Center Companies for not paying employees for all the hours worked during a workday.
  3. Unpaid Minimum Wage – Class Action Case against Limousine Company in Las Vegas for failure to pay minimum wage.
  4. Misclassification – Class Action Case again Qiagen, Inc. for misclassifying its Field Service Specialists or Field Service Engineers/Technicians as salaried exempt employees and not paying overtime.
