Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q:Is This a Class Action? What Does that Mean?
A:
This case is both a collective action under federal law and a potential class action under Pennsylvania 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 one or more people to sue on behalf of themselves and other people who have similar claims. This case has been conditionally certified as a collective action. We have not yet asked the Court to certify the case a class action.

-
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: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 FedEx 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:What About Retaliation?
