Class Actions
If you’ve been the victim of wage and hour law violations at your workplace, it’s entirely possible you are not alone. Your employer may be treating everyone at your company the same way, breaking the law for each of them in the same way. When a party has injured many plaintiffs in the same way, our legal system has something called a “class action” in which all plaintiffs can pursue the same cause of action.
Connecticut Wage and Hour Class Actions
At Hayber, McKenna & Dinsmore, we represent multiple workers in class actions against a single employer who has violated state and federal wage and hour laws, usually by not paying employees overtime pay who should be paid overtime.
These cases are appropriate when there are a group of employees who are the victims of the same illegal employer policy, such as being illegally classified as “executives” when they are really just assistant managers who spend most of their day stocking shelves.
When we find that an employer has been consistently violating wage and hour laws for a class of employees, we begin the class action suit. At that point, employees who meet the same criteria can join the suit. For instance, Beth is a mortgage loan officer for Company A in New London. Our law firm finds that Company A has been violating Connecticut wage and hour laws for mortgage loan officers, and begins a class action in February. Beth finds out about the class action in May. She can still join in.
The following are a list of currently pending class actions that Hayber, McKenna & Dinsmore is handling. If you work for one of these companies in the capacity described in the suit, you may seek to join in:
