Wage and Hour Class Actions
What Is a Wage and Hour Class Action?
A class action lawsuit enables one or more employees (called class representatives) to file a case on behalf of others with similar claims. These cases typically involve:
– Unpaid overtime and wages
– Failure to provide meal and rest breaks
– Misclassification of employees as independent contractors
– Off-the-clock work
– Minimum wage violations
– Illegal time-rounding or improper deductions
Why File as a Class?
By filing as a class, employees can:
– Combine resources
– Create pressure for employers to settle or change policies
– Maximize recovery for all affected workers
– Minimize retaliation risks by taking collective action
How Does It Work?
– Evaluation – We assess whether a class action is appropriate based on the facts.
– Certification – The court decides if the case qualifies as a class action.
– Notification – All affected workers are notified and given the chance to exclude themselves from the class action.
– Litigation or Settlement – The case proceeds through litigation or settlement.
You May Be Eligible
Even if you no longer work for the company, you may still be eligible to participate if the violations occurred within the statute of limitations.
