Kohl’s Assistant Manager
Overtime Lawsuit

A

Kohl’s Department Stores, Inc operates department stores across the country, including in Connecticut.

A

Overtime.  In this lawsuit we claim that Kohl’s wrongly classified its assistant managers as overtime exempt, and failed to pay overtime for hours worked over 40. Kohl’s has faced a similar claim – in 2016 they settled with another class of Assistant Store Managers for $4 million.

A

Federal.  This case was filed in United States District Court, District of Connecticut. However, it was recently transferred to United States District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin.

A

No.  It is illegal to retaliate against an employee who joins a lawsuit like this.  If you experience retaliation, we will help you.

Hayber, McKenna & Dinsmore, LLC., and Mitchell & Sheahan, P.C. The assistant managers who brought this lawsuit are being represented by the Hayber, McKenna & Dinsmore, and Mitchel & Sheahan.  Both are experienced firms that have successfully handled cases like this in the past.

A

It depends.  We claim that assistant managers should be awarded unpaid overtime wages under federal and state law, damages, and attorneys’ fees.  

A

No.  We have agreed to work on this case on a “contingency” basis which means that our fee, and reimbursement for our costs, will come, if at all, out of any settlement.  The court will closely supervise our fee petition and ensure that it is fair to the class.
