Q
II. What is this case about?A
Unpaid Wages: Defendant Pall Corporation (“Pall”) used a time rounding policy which was not facially neutral and that, “over a period of time,” significantly underpaidPlaintiff and all other hourly workers at its U.S. facilities. Pall rounds employee punches made 14 minutes or less before the shift to the scheduled starting time, but only rounds employee punches made 7 minutes late back ot the scheduled starting time.
Further, Pall automatically deducts 30 minutes from its employees’
recorded hours on shifts where they qualify for meal breaks, even on shifts where its workers do not take full 30-minute meal breaks. Pall’s timekeeping system records employee punches to the minute, so Pall knows when its employees take meal breaks that are shorter than 30 minutes but nevertheless deducts their pay anyway.
