Case ID: 2721 | Employment | 09/23/2003
The parties have reached a $90,000 settlement in a class action filed against the city of Fort Worth, Texas, on behalf of current and former police officers employed by the city between November 10, 1996, and November 10, 2000. The action alleged that the city violated Texas labor law when it failed to provide its police officers the same number of vacation days as are granted to other municipal employees. Eligible officers should contact class counsel for information on how to take part in the settlement.
The settlement provides for officers who are currently employed to receive additional days of vacation leave equal to the difference between vacation time the officer was actually granted and the vacation time accrued by similarly tenured general employees between the dates already stated. Those officers who were named parties in Livingston v. City of Fort Worth, Texas (cause number 352-176354-98), in the 352d Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas, will receive additional days of vacation leave equal to the difference between vacation time the officer was actually granted and the vacation time accrued by similarly tenured general employees between June 23, 2000, and December 16, 2000. Former officers will receive a cash payment equal to the appropriate number of vacation hours multiplied by their regular rate of pay at the time of their separation from employment with the city. This settlement was finalized in a court hearing on August 28, 2003.
