Usually a class action case begins with a single individual employee who wonders whether they are being paid correctly or whether they should be getting a meal or rest break. Other types of questions that employees have are whether they are entitled to be reimbursed for expenses related to their job, whether they should be getting paid overtime or for work off the clock. Another common question is whether the employee has been properly classified as an exempt employee who is not entitled to overtime pay. For instance, if the employee has been told that they are not entitled to overtime pay because they are on a salary or that they are paid commission or that they are exempt as an administrative employee or executive employee. These and other questions often lead us to seek compensation for the employee from the employer by filing a lawsuit on their behalf. Many times we find that the employer has made the same error with regard to the entire class of employees. In that case, we may file a class action lawsuit on behalf of the all of the employees in that same situation. Class actions are particularly suited to wage cases because generally employers classify all of their employees into work categories and apply the same work policies and procedures to all of the employees in that same category. Thus, as an example, if one employee is working off the clock without pay, the chances are that all employees with that same title are also working off the clock without pay. Another example would be if one employee is improperly classified as exempt from overtime pay as an administrative professional, then likely all persons who are likewise misclassified would also be entitled to overtime pay and therefore the case would be a good candidate for class action treatment. It is our goal to recover wages for employees who have been wrongly denied their wages whether it be due to misclassification or simply due to improper calculation or time clock shaving techniques or having employees do work before they clock in for the day or after they clock out for the day. Employers tend to have a large number of mechanisms for denying employees their pay. Often the employee does not recognize that they are being cheated out of hundreds of dollars of wages.
