    • Q: How Long Will This Case Take?

      A:

      The length of this kind of lawsuit varies from case to case. They typically last one to two years.

    • Q: How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?

      A:

      Where the employer does not keep accurate time records, most courts permit the employee to make a good faith estimate of overtime hours. You do not need to have proof of the hours you worked and the court will generally accept a good faith estimate of your hours.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything to our firm if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement or final judgment.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      The claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods. Under federal law, the statute of limitations is two years back from when the consent form you return to us is filed. If we can prove TDS Telecom intentionally or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended to three years. The Colorado state law claim asserted in this case has a three-year statute of limitations.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all Network Specialists who work or have worked for TDS Telecom anywhere in the country within the past three years.

    • Q: What is a class action?

      A: In a class action lawsuit, one or more people, called the “class representatives,” sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims. Together, this group of people is called a “class” or “class members.” The class representative and the class members together are called the “Plaintiffs.” The entities or companies they sue are called the “Defendants.” The judge or jury resolves the claims for everyone in the class—except those who ask to be excluded from the lawsuit.

    • Q: Is There Money Available Now?

      A: No. This case was recently filed and is pending in federal court. There is no money currently available and there is no guarantee that you will receive money for joining the lawsuit.

    • Q: What About Retaliation?

      A: It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against a person for joining a lawsuit alleging violations of federal labor law. If you believe you may be the victim of retaliation for joining or participating in this lawsuit, contact the case clerk, Haley Thompson, at (612) 256-3268 or hthompson@nka.com immediately.

    • Q: Do I Have to Pay Anything?

      A: You do not have to pay anything if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency fee basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement, award, or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement, award, or final judgment.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A: Each type of federal and state law claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover wages within specific time periods. Under federal law, the statute of limitations is two years back from when the worker signs up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning, and us filing, the consent form referenced above. If we can prove that SpecialtyCare intentionally or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended back to three years. Under federal law, the claims may go back to August 23, 2021, under the two-year statute of limitations, or August 23, 2020, under a three-year statute of limitations. For claims under Tennessee state law, the claims may go back to August 23, 2017, under a six-year statute of limitations.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      Because this lawsuit arises under both federal and state law, you may have a qualifying state law claim, federal law claim, or both federal and state law claims. You may be eligible to join this case if you were subject to the TRAP and worked for SpecialtyCare anytime since August 2020.

      Again, to join the federal minimum wage portion of this case, you can submit the form electronically by clicking here.

      If the Court certifies the case as a class action for the Tennessee law claims, and you are part of the certified class, you will receive a formal notice of the lawsuit with specific information about your eligibility and potential claims.

    • Q: This is a Class or Collective Action. What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential collective action under federal law and a potential class action under Tennessee state law. This means that, depending on the type of claim(s) you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims. To proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file the motions at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant these certifications. But to join the federal minimum wage portion of this case, you must send in a consent form.

    • Q: How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?

      A:

      You do not need to have records of the hours you worked to make a claim in this case. If you do have records of the hours you worked, however, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. If AMR did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a good-faith estimate of your work hours. Through this lawsuit, we will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked as well.

    • Q: Do I Have to Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency fee basis.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      The claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods. Under federal law, the statute of limitations is two years back from when your written consent form is filed with the court. If we can prove that AMR intentionally or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended to three years.

    • Q: How Do I Join This Case?

      A:

      To make a claim in this case for any unpaid overtime under federal law, you must complete a consent form and return it to our office. You can also submit the form electronically by clicking here.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all paramedics and EMTs who work or have worked for AMR at any of its deployment sites anywhere in the country within the past three years.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      You may be eligible to make a federal law claim in this case if you worked for AMR, through a third-party company, at any time within the past three years as a paramedic or EMT, were classified as an independent contractor, and were not paid an overtime premium for the hours you worked over 40 per week.

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This is a potential collective action, not a class action, under federal law. The idea behind a collective action is that it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. To make a claim and join the collective, however, a paramedic/EMT needs to provide her/his consent in writing. In addition, we will also seek court-authorized notice of this lawsuit to be distributed to all similarly situated paramedics and EMTs nationwide. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file a motion at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant our request for court-authorized notice.

      Each type of federal and state law claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid wages within specific time periods. Under federal law, the statute of limitations is two years back from when the worker signs up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning, and us filing, the consent form referenced above. If we can prove that North Memorial intentionally or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended back to three years.

      Minnesota state law is similar in that the statute of limitations is two years, and three years if we can prove that North Memorial intentionally or recklessly violated the law. If the Minnesota class is certified, the claims will go back to June 13, 2021 under the two-year statute of limitations, or June 13, 2020 under a three-year statute of limitations.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      Under federal law, this case seeks to include all North Memorial EMTs/paramedics working in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

      Under Minnesota state law, this case seeks to include North Memorial EMTs/paramedics working in Minnesota only.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      Because this lawsuit arises under both federal and state law, you may have a qualifying state law claim, federal law claim, or both federal and state law claims.

      Federal Law:

      You may be eligible to make a claim in this case for unpaid overtime compensation for hours worked over 40 in a workweek if you worked on-call (or “off-premise”) hours as an EMT or paramedic for North Memorial in either Minnesota or Wisconsin at any time within the last three years through the time the company began including on-call hours worked in calculating and paying overtime compensation (approximately April 2022).

      State Law:

      You may have a claim in this case for unpaid minimum wage and unpaid overtime compensation under Minnesota law if you worked on-call (or “off-premise”) hours as an EMT or paramedic for North Memorial in Minnesota from June 14, 2020 (three years before the Complaint was filed) until the company began paying minimum wage under Minnesota law for on-call hours worked and factoring on-call hours into the weekly total of hours worked for purposes of determining overtime pay (approximately April 2022). Whether additional Minnesota EMT/paramedics are added to this case to pursue claims under Minnesota state law will depend on the Court’s ruling on a motion for class certification, which has not been filed yet.

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential collective action under federal law and a potential class action under Minnesota state law. This means that, depending on the type of claim(s) you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims.

    • Q: How Do I Join This Case?

      A:

      To make a claim in this case for any unpaid overtime under the FLSA, the federal law, you must complete a consent form and return it to our office. You can also submit the form electronically by clicking here.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all Security Specialists who work or have worked for FedEx anywhere in the country, except for in Pennsylvania because there is already a separate case pending there, within the past three years.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      You may be eligible to make a federal law claim in this case if you worked for FedEx at any time within the past three years as a Security Specialist and were not paid overtime for the hours you worked in excess of 40 hours per week.

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential collective action under federal law and a potential class action under New York state law. This means that, depending on the type of claim(s) you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit. See below for more details on this process.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows individual people to participate in a group action with others who have similar claims.  

      If the Court certifies the New York claims as a class action, then individuals who worked in the covered position(s) during the covered time period would be “class members,” unless they decide to opt-out. 

      Unlike a class action, however, a collective action requires individuals to “opt-in” to the collective action. Individuals who wish to join this case need to complete a consent form in order to assert their claims under federal law. 

      For both the class and collective procedures to proceed as a group, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file the motions at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant these certifications.

The idea behind a collective action is that it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. To make a claim and join the collective, however, a CRNA needs to provide her/his consent in writing. In addition, we would also seek to certify this case as a collective so that notice of the lawsuit would get distributed to all similarly situated CRNAs nationwide. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file a motion at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant conditional certification.

  • David E. Schlesinger Results

    • Q: Strong Legal Advocate

      A:

      With David Schlesinger’s professional expertise and skills, I had a strong advocate in a legal matter, a way to stand up for myself, and a way to be heard. David was accessible, communicated with courtesy and candor, kept me informed about the process, delineated the choices I faced, and allowed me to make informed decisions. I am so grateful that I was referred to him, and I highly recommend him as well.

    • Q: Employment Case

      A:

      I was blessed to work with David on my case. He believed in my case and assured me that I had a case. He pursued the employer and communicated to me every step of the way. He is firm in what he does. I saw the result of his belief in my case at the settlement. I highly recommend him for employment cases.

    • Q: I Highly Recommend David Schlesinger

      A:

      I connected with David through a family member when I found myself facing a difficult employment-related situation. This was my first experience hiring a lawyer for personal reasons. Upfront, I did not know what to expect. But David took the time to carefully listen and ask probing questions; I believe he truly understood my circumstances and priorities. He then gave me an honest assessment and laid out realistic options and a plan of action.

      Upon my approval, David confidently worked on the plan, involving me as much as I desired in each step. His communication was direct and to the point -- there was no wasted time or effort, something I very much appreciated. He always responded promptly to my calls and e-mails, never leaving me sitting in the dark.

      David's connections, skills, and persistence led to a very reasonable outcome in a timely fashion. I cannot recommend David highly enough.

    • Q: Highly Recommended

      A:

      David did an amazing job with my case, which was an employment dispute and involved aspects of complex banking rules and regulations. He was able to quickly analyze and understand the subject matter that was much more complicated than a typical employment claim. I very much enjoyed working with him, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    • Q: Professional, confident and effective

      A:

      David took my case after it was rejected by other lawyers, which allowed me to feel my career was just as important as anyone else's. After facing tough discrimination in my field, David was confident in standing up for me and pushing for my rights. After tough negotiations, the parties settled, which I viewed as an admission of fault from my former employer, which is more satisfying than I could have asked for.

    • Q: Best Possible Choice I Could Have Made

      A:

      David is an excellent attorney! I spoke with 6 attorneys before meeting David. They were great attorneys but I am absolutely pleased I selected David to represent me in my wrongful termination case. He was absolutely professional and client-first the entire way. We ended up settling before the trial. I couldn't be happier to have this behind me. David is truly a class above the rest!!!!!  

    • Q: Clarity, Confidence, and Integrity

      A:

      David brings impressive clarity and confidence to complicated circumstances with ease. He exhibits rich wisdom in the balance of logic and intuition. His sincere commitment and reliability are admirable. I am honored to have been represented by him and grateful for his tenacious perseverance for justice.

    • Q: Supportive, Prompt, and Professional

      A:

      David was professional, and prompt, and provided helpful legal advice. I was looking to quickly speak with a lawyer who knows employment law. He listened to all of my questions the same day I contacted him, reviewed the information, and answered my questions the next day. I felt supported and confident about my situation after talking with David. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is seeking legal advice about an employment concern.

    • Q: Professional Testing Accommodations Advocate

      A:

      Not everyone understands my disability. David took the time to understand my disability. David was a strong advocate for me when I felt deflated and defeated by the lack of choices I was facing. I knew that I could be successful on a professional test, and knew that the accommodations I sought were reasonable. When the testing entity refused my request for accommodations, I hired David. David's approach with the testing entity was helpful, and reasonable, and ultimately led to the approval of the accommodations I had requested.

      David is a strong and professional advocate who understands the need and the purpose of disability accommodations.

    • Q: Wage and Non-Compete Case

      A:

      David represented me in a case that would ultimately decide my future. I found myself involved in what started out as a wage claim that quickly escalated into a countersuit over a non-compete. This suit had the potential cost me upwards of half a million dollars or more depending on the results of the case, as well as keeping me from working in the industry in which I have spent most of my career. My case spanned several years of work in multiple states. David’s skills as an attorney were second to none. He was able to fight back every claim filed against me throughout the 18 months it took to ultimately settle my case in Federal Court.

      I would like to publicly thank David for taking the time to get to know me as an individual and not just another case. Having a true understanding of who I was as a person and believing in me all the way through gave me the strength I needed. David is very passionate about the law and representing employees. I would highly recommend him if you ever find yourself in a situation against an employer. I am now the owner of a growing small business which would not have been possible without the help of David and his firm. Thank you again, David!

      Like many people, I never imagined I would need the services of an employment attorney. And like many people who find themselves in that situation, I felt unsure of where to start my search for an attorney to help me navigate one of the most difficult times in my life.

      Thankfully, I was referred to David by a friend and I am eternally grateful for that recommendation. I truly cannot say enough good things about David and his team. When you go through a difficult experience at work it can feel like your world is shattered, making it hard to remember that attorneys typically handle multiple cases at the same time. However, during all of my communications with David, he always made me feel like a priority - taking the time to listen and understand what was important to me. He also was great about proactively communicating and ensuring that I always knew the status of my case. In addition to possessing great client relations skills, David is also a really skilled attorney. I never had a doubt that he thought about my case from every angle and I was continuously impressed by his knowledge of multiple areas of employment law.

      I truly could not imagine going through my experience being represented by anyone else. David is really one of the good guys. He is in this area of law because he is a believer in justice and helping people. If you are looking for a brilliant, sincere, and ethical employment attorney I would strongly recommend giving David a call.

    • Q: How Long Will This Case Take?

      The length of this kind of lawsuit varies from case to case, but they typically last one to three years.

    • Q: What About Retaliation?

      A:

      It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against a person for joining a lawsuit to reclaim unpaid wages. If you currently work for DisplayMax and/or FixtureMax and you believe you may be the victim of retaliation for joining or participating in this lawsuit, contact the case clerk, Jacob Vandervest, at jvandervest@nka.com or (612) 256-3221 immediately.

    • Q: How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?

      A:

      If you have records of the hours you worked, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to make a claim for your overtime pay in this case. If Zayo did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a good-faith estimate of your work hours. Through this lawsuit, we will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked as well.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency fee basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement, award, or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement, award, or final judgment.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      The claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods.  Under federal law, the statute of limitation is two years back from when the worker signs up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning the written consent form referenced above. If we can prove that Zayo intentionally or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended to three years.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all SDCs who work or have worked for Zayo anywhere across the country within the past three years. 

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is a potential collective action under federal law. The idea behind a collective action is that it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. To proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file a motion at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant conditional certification.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      You may be eligible to make a federal law claim in this case if you worked for Zayo at any time within the past three years in any state as a Service Delivery Coordinator, or other position with similar titles and/or duties, and were not paid an overtime premium for the hours you worked over 40 per week.

      Este caso es una demanda colectiva putativa bajo la ley de California. La ventaja de una demanda colectiva es que permite que una persona (o varias personas) puedan demandar por su propia cuenta y por otra gente que tenga reclamaciones semejantes. De todos modos, para demandar como un grupo, el Tribunal tiene que certificar la clase. Como que estamos en las primeras etapas del caso, ningún juez nos ha hecho esta certificación aún, pero queremos solicitar el permiso de la compañía para hacerlo o presentar en los momentos apropiados las mociones pidiendo al Tribunal que conceda estas certificaciones.

      Each type of federal and state law claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all Implementation Reps that work or have worked for Tyler Technologies anywhere across the country within the past three years. 

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential collective action under federal law and a potential class action under California state law. This means that, depending on the type of claim you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit. See below for more details on this process.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. In order to proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file the motions at the appropriate times asking the Court to grant these certifications.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      Because this lawsuit arises under both federal and state law, you may have a qualifying state law claim, federal law claim, or both federal and state law claims.

      Do I Have a Qualifying Federal Law Claim?

      You are eligible to make a federal law claim in this case if you worked for Tyler Technologies as an Implementation Rep (which includes Implementation Coordinators, Implementation Consultants, or other positions with similar titles and/or duties) at any time within the past three years in any state, and were not paid an overtime premium for the hours you worked over 40 per week.

    • Q: How Long Will This Case Take?

      The length of this kind of lawsuit varies from case to case, but they typically last one to three years.

    • Q: What About Retaliation?

If you currently work for TransPerfect and you believe you may be the victim of retaliation for joining or participating in this lawsuit, contact the case clerk, Ignasi Dorca at (612) 256-3224 or idorca@nka.com immediately.

    • Q: How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?

      A:

      If you have records of the hours you worked, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to make a claim for your overtime pay in this case. If TransPerfect did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a good-faith estimate of your work hours. Through this lawsuit, we will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked as well.

    • Q: Do I Have to Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency fee basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement, award, or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement, award, or final judgment.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      The claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods. Under federal law, the statute of limitation is two years back from when the worker signs up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning the written consent form referenced above. If we can prove that TransPerfect intentionally or recklessly violated the law, the statute of limitations may be extended to three years.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all Project Managers who work or have worked for TransPerfect anywhere across the country, outside of New York, within the past three years. 

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is a potential collective action under federal law. The idea behind a collective action is that is allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. To proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file a motion at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant conditional certification.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      You may be eligible to make a federal law claim in this case if you worked for TransPerfect at any time within the past three years in any state, excluding New York, as a Project Manager, Sr. Project Manager, Executive Project Manager, or other position with similar titles and/or duties, and were not paid an overtime premium for the hours you worked over 40 per week. 

    • Q: How Do I Join This Case?

      A:

    • Q: How Can I Help?

      A:

    • Q: What About Retaliation?

      A:

      The law protects employees against retaliation for asserting their rights, and if you suffer retaliation, you may be able to bring additional claims. If you currently work for Spar, and you feel you are the victim of retaliation for participating in this case, contact us immediately.

    • Q: How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?

      A:

      During litigation, we will request that Spar provide us with any documents or other evidence of your work hours. Where the employer does not keep accurate time records, most courts permit the employee to make a “good faith” estimate of the overtime hours they worked. You do not need to have documentary proof of the hours you worked, and the court will generally accept a good-faith estimate of your hours.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      The attorneys are handling this case on a contingency fee basis. This means we will only be paid if we are successful in obtaining relief for you. Our payment will only come out of your settlement, final judgment, or award. If for some reason we are not successful, you pay us nothing.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      There is a statute of limitations that allows you to recover pay for hours worked during the two years before you bring your claim. If we can prove Spar willfully violated the law, the statute of limitations will be extended to three years.

    • Q: What Locations Are Included?

      A:

      The Court has already allowed a conditional collective of merchandisers from the greater Houston and Galveston areas to proceed together in this case. We plan on renewing our request to include all merchandisers outside of California interested in joining.

    • Q: Do I Have a Claim?

      A:

      If you worked as a merchandiser for Spar, were classified as an “independent contractor,” or worked over forty hours during any work weeks in the past three years without receiving overtime premiums, you may have a claim to seek to recover back wages.

    • Q: How Long Will This Case Take?

      A:

      The length of lawsuits varies. Cases like this typically last one to two years.

    • Q: How Do I Prove I Worked Overtime?

      A:

      It appears that PPL may have records of your time worked that we can obtain during litigation. Even so, you do not need to have proof of the exact hours you worked. If an employer does not keep accurate time records, most courts allow an employee to make a “good faith estimate” of the overtime hours worked.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything to our firm if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief through a settlement, final judgment, or award, and our payment will come only out of that settlement, final judgment, or award.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      While the federal statute of limitations in cases such as this typically allows you to recover unpaid wages for hours worked within two years of signing up for the lawsuit (three years if we can prove the company willfully violated the law), the new home health care worker regulations were implemented in January 2015. This means, under federal law, your claim for overtime pay may only go back as far as January 1, 2015. Pennsylvania law allows you to recover unpaid wages for hours worked over 40 per week, within three years of signing up for the lawsuit.

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential class action under state law and a potential collective action under federal law. This means that, depending on the type of claim you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit. See below for more details on this process.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims. In order to proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to file the motions at the appropriate times asking the Court to grant these certifications.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      Because this lawsuit arises under both state and federal law, you may have a qualifying state law claim, federal law claim, or both state and federal law claims.

      Do I Have a Qualifying State Law Claim?

      You may have a claim under Pennsylvania state law if you worked overtime (over 40 hours per week) as a direct care worker for PPL within the past three years.

      Do I Have a Qualifying Federal Law Claim?

      You are eligible to make a claim in this case under federal law claim if you worked overtime (over 40 hours per week) for PPL as a direct care worker at any time from January 1, 2015, to the present. In order to make a claim, please complete a consent form (see below) and return it to our office.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything if you make a claim in this case. We are handling the case on a contingency basis.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      There is a federal time limit, called a statute of limitations, that allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within two years of the worker signing up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning/submitting the consent form referenced above. If we can prove that Pathway willfully violated the law, the statute of limitations may be extended to three years. State law is similar.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all nurse consultants, regardless of location, who work or have worked for Pathway and was not paid for all of the time they spent on the types of work-related activities identified above within the past three years as a result of the company’s alleged policy to only pay consultants for the hours they are allowed to complete a project or the hours they are scheduled per week according to a project sheet, rather than all of the hours they worked.  

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      Yes, in part. The case is both a potential class action for unpaid straight-time wages under Minnesota law and a putative collective action for unpaid overtime wages under federal law. This means that, depending on the type of claim you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit. See below for more details on this process.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims. In order to proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file the motions at the appropriate times asking the Court to grant these certifications.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      You are eligible to make a claim in this case if you worked for Pathway Health Services, Inc. as a consultant at any time within the past three years and were not paid for all the hours you worked, including overtime hours worked over 40 per week.

      It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against a person for joining a lawsuit to reclaim unpaid wages. If you suffer retaliation, you may have additional claims against your employer. If you currently work for P.F. Chang’s and you believe you may be the victim of retaliation for joining or participating in this lawsuit, contact us immediately.

    • Q: How Do I Prove the Hours I Worked?

      A:

      If you have records related to your work with P.F. Chang’s, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to participate in this case. If P.F. Chang’s did not keep accurate time records, or permit you to record all of your time worked, most courts will permit you to make a good faith estimate of your work hours. We will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked through this lawsuit. Please ensure you do not destroy any documents or data you have that relate in any way to your work for P.F. Chang’s.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything to us if you join the lawsuit. We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement or final judgment.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      There is a time limit under federal law, called a statute of limitations, that allows an employee to recover unpaid wages for hours worked within two years of the individual signing up to join the lawsuit by completing the consent form referenced above. If we can prove that P.F. Chang’s willfully violated the law, the statute of limitations may be extended to three years.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include servers who worked for P.F. Chang’s anywhere across the country.  Servers who worked in states that do not permit employers to pay servers using “tip-credit” minimum wage, such as California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Montana, Minnesota, and Alaska are excluded.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      If you worked for P.F. Chang’s as a server at any time between July 2015 and the present, you regularly perform(ed)  side-work more than 20% of your time working in a workweek, and P.F. Chang’s applied the tips you earned towards its minimum wage obligation for the hours you spent on side-work, instead of paying you the full federal hourly minimum wage ($7.25 per hour) for such work, you have a claim under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act for additional compensation and double damages.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      The claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods.  Under federal law, the statute of limitation is two years back from when the worker signs up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning the written consent form referenced above. If we can prove that OpSec intentionally or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended to three years.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all Brand Analysts who work or have worked for OpSec anywhere across the country within the past three years. 

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is a potential collective action under federal law. The idea behind a collective action is that it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. To proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file a motion at the appropriate time asking the Court to grant conditional certification.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      You may be eligible to make a federal law claim in this case if you worked for OpSec at any time within the past three years as a Brand Analyst, Sr. Brand Analyst, or other position with similar titles and/or duties and were not paid an overtime premium for the hours you worked over 40 per week.

      A:

      While the federal statute of limitations in cases such as this allows you to recover unpaid wages for hours worked within two years of signing up for the lawsuit (three years if we can prove the company willfully violated the law), the new homecare worker regulations were implemented in January 2015, and we understand that Defendants started paying overtime properly as of February 1, 2016. This means you are eligible to make a claim for unpaid overtime wages for the time of January 1, 2015, to February 1, 2016.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      To be eligible to make a claim:

      You must have worked overtime (over 40 hours in a work week) as an IHSS homecare worker, employed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services, at any time from January 1, 2015, to February 1, 2016.​

    • Q: Is There Money Available Now?

      No. This is a pending lawsuit. There is no money currently available and there is no guarantee that you will receive money for participating in the lawsuit.

    • Q: How Long Will This Case Take?

      A:

      The length of this kind of lawsuit varies from case to case, but they typically last one to three years.

    • Q: What About Retaliation?

      A:

      It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against a person for joining a lawsuit to reclaim unpaid wages. If you suffer retaliation, you may have additional claims. If you work for Freymiller and you believe you may be the victim of retaliation for joining this lawsuit, contact us immediately.

    • Q: How Do I Prove the Hours I Worked?

      A:

      If you have records relating to your work with Freymiller, please keep them until we ask you for them.  However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to make a claim. If Freymiller did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to make a “good faith” estimate of your work hours.  We will seek any records the company has of your hours worked. Please ensure you do not destroy any documents or data you have that relate in any way to your work for Freymiller.

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything?

      A:

      No, you will not have to pay us anything out of your own pocket.  We are handling this case on a contingency basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement or an award, and that payment will only come out of that settlement or award. 

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      There is a time limit under California law called a statute of limitations that allows an employee to recover unpaid wages for up to four years.  If you drove in California for Freymiller within four years prior to the filing of the Complaint to the present, you may be included as a class member. 

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      If you worked for Freymiller as a driver within the past four years and drove within California, you may be eligible to recover damages in this case. If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact the case clerk, Tommy Navarre, at 612-256-3238 or via email at tnavarre@nka.com.

    • Q: How Do I Join This Case?

      A:

      If you are interested in participating in this case, please contact the case clerk, Tommy Navarre, at 612-256-3238 or via email at tnavarre@nka.com. There is a possibility the Court will certify this case as a class action under California state laws.  If that happens, eligible drivers will be notified they are covered and will automatically be included in this case unless they “opt out.”

    • Q: Do I Have To Pay Anything In This Class Action

      A:

      We represent the interests of ALL class members during this liability phase of the case.  Our role is to develop the evidence and try to obtain a finding of class discrimination.  If the Class prevails on liability, or we reach a settlement that is approved by the Administrative Judge, then all class members are bound by that judgment or settlement.   Similarly, if we lose, then all class members who have not filed an EEO complaint of their own are bound by the decision as well.   If we are successful in getting a finding of class discrimination, then the FAA will be directed to mail a Notice to the Class advising them they have the right to file a claim as a class member.  That Notice will typically include a copy of the Decision and allow a period of time to conduct fact discovery on the issues related to remedies.

      At that point, we will be in what is called the “remedies” phase of the case.  In the remedies phase, we DO NOT represent all class members.  Rather, each class member will have the responsibility for filing their own individual claim.  This is true as to any settlement as well.   In the claim-filing process at that point, we can only represent those class members who have specifically retained us to do so.  Because this type of case, unlike all other kinds of discrimination cases, does not provide for the recovery of attorney fees and expenses if we win on behalf of the Class, class members who want us to represent their individual claim, must retain us on an individual basis.  For anyone who chooses to retain us at this time to handle their individual claim during the remedies phase, we are doing so on a contingency fee basis, which means that we only get paid if you get a recovery, and our attorney's fees come solely out of that recovery and not your pocket.  In other words, if we are unable to obtain any recovery for you in this case (in the form of back pay and lost benefits, including retroactive retirement credit), then we will not get paid either, and you will owe us nothing. 

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      The EEO Administrative Judge certified the following class:

      Those PATCO Inventory applicants who were not selected for Terminal and Enroute Air Traffic Control Specialist vacancies (at their preferred locations) beginning on September 16, 2003, and thereafter. Preferred locations refer to the locations identified by the PATCO Inventory applicant as ones for which they would like to be considered for ATCS employment.

      Therefore, pursuant to the Judge’s Order, the class was defined as those PATCO strikers who applied for reinstatement in 1993 after President Clinton lifted the ban on rehiring and the FAA issued Recruitment Notice 93-01. If you applied under that Notice, the FAA placed you on their “PATCO Inventory.” If you were still on that list (i.e. you had not been rehired) as of September 16, 2003, then you are an eligible class member in this case and should have received notice of the case from the FAA back in 2007. There were 3,652 names on the PATCO Inventory in September 2003.

      A copy of the Judge’s Certification Order may be read here.

    • Q: Do I Have to Pay Anything?

      A:

      You do not have to pay anything if you join to recover your pay. We are handling this case on a contingency fee basis. This means we will only be paid if the lawsuit is successful in obtaining relief either through a settlement, award, or a final judgment, and that payment will only come out of that settlement, award, or final judgment.

    • Q: What Time Frame Does This Case Cover?

      A:

      Each type of federal and state law claim has what is called a statute of limitations, which allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within specific time periods.  Under federal law, the statute of limitations is two years back from when the worker signs up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning the written consent form referenced above. If we can prove that Evolve willfully or recklessly violated the law, then the statute of limitations may be extended to three years.

      The law provides for recovery for up to four years from the date the lawsuit was filed for certain California state law claims.

    • Q: Which Locations Are Included?

      A:

      This case seeks to include all non-exempt employees eligible for commission or other non-discretionary incentive pay that work or have worked for Evolve anywhere across the country within the past three years (and four years if in California). 

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential collective action under federal law and a potential class action under California state law. This means that, depending on the type of claim you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit. See below for more details on this process.

      Although the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated people who have similar claims. In order to proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file the motions at the appropriate times asking the Court to grant these certifications.

    • Q: Am I Eligible?

      A:

      Because this lawsuit arises under both federal and state law, you may have a qualifying state law claim, federal law claim, or both federal and state law claims.

      Do I Have a Qualifying Federal Law Claim?

      You may be eligible to make a claim in this case under federal law if you worked for Evolve as a non-exempt employee, eligible for commission or other non-discretionary incentive pay at any time within the past three years, in any state, and worked over 40 hours per week (on at least one occasion).

      Do I Have a Qualifying State Law Claim?

      You may have a claim under California state law if you worked for Evolve as a non-exempt employee, eligible for commission or other non-discretionary incentive pay at any time within the past four years, in California, and worked over 40 hours per week, worked over 8 hours in a day, or received premium pay for a missed meal period (on at least one occasion).

    • Q: How Do I Join This Case?

      You may have a claim under California state law if you worked for CACI in California as a background investigator at any time within the past four years.

      If you have records of the hours you worked, please preserve and keep them until we ask you for them. However, you do not need to have records of your work hours to make a claim for your overtime pay in this case. If Better Mortgage did not keep accurate time records, most courts will permit you to estimate your work hours. Through this lawsuit, we will seek any records the company may have of your hours worked as well.

    • Q: Do I Have to Pay Anything?

      There is a federal time limit, called a statute of limitations, that allows workers to recover unpaid overtime wages within two years of the worker signing up to join the lawsuit by completing and returning the consent form referenced above.

The statute of limitations for the California state law claims in the complaint is as long as four years.

    • Q: Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?

      A:

      This case is both a potential collective action under federal law and a potential class action under California state law. This means that, depending on the type of claim you have, there may be a slightly different process for joining and participating in this suit. See below for more details on this process.

      Though the process and terminology may differ slightly, the idea behind both a class and collective action is the same: it allows one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims. In order to proceed as a group, though, the Court must certify the class and collective. Because we are in the early stages of the case, this has not happened yet, but we intend to seek the company’s agreement or file the motions at the appropriate times asking the Court to grant these certifications.
