Case ID: 2891 | Employment | 11/10/2003
A class action has been filed against Landers Auto Sales, Inc. and related companies on behalf of Landers salespersons in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi, alleging that the company bilked them of their commissions, unjustly enriching itself by taking keeping money that should have been paid as commissions. The action seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Besides Landers Auto Sales, Inc., the action names United Auto Group, Inc.; Landers United Auto Group No. 6, Inc.; UAG Landers Springdale, LLC; UAG Fayetteville I, LLC; UAG Fayetteville II, LLC; UAG Fayetteville III, LLC; Landers United Auto Group No. 2, Inc.; Landers Ford North, Inc.; and Landers Buick-Pontiac, Inc. as defendants. Allegedly, salespersons employed by Landers are paid on a commission-only basis. The salespersons get a set percentage of the profit on each auto they sell. Determining what the profit is, though, is made complex by a dealer policy known as "packing," where the dealer adds an extra charge to the auto's base cost. The action alleges that Landers used the process to pay its salespersons less than they were really owed. This scheme was allegedly admitted by an officer and agent of the company in the presence of over 50 of the salespeople at a business meeting.
