Abercrombie & Fitch Co. will pay as much as $2 million to settle a lawsuit filed by more than 250 California store managers claiming the retailer violated overtime laws.
The suit, filed in July of 2002, claimed that store managers were required to work, in some instances, more than 60 hours per week with no overtime pay. The plaintiffs claimed that Abercrombie wrongly classified store managers as salaried employees exempt from overtime pay laws.
Although this case was brought under California laws, under Federal law, the question of whether an employee is entitled to overtime pay depends on their job duties. For more information on overtime laws click here or contact the Rasansky Law Firm at 1-800-ATTORNEY.
