Case ID: 3078 | Employment | 01/22/2004
A statewide collective action has been filed in Indiana against auto parts giant, GPC Napa Auto Parts. The action is brought on behalf of all Indiana Napa managers and assistant managers who were not paid overtime by the company for hours worked in excess of 40 per week. The action is brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and seeks back pay, liquidated and statutory damages as well as injunctive and declaratory relief. As a collective action, all potential claimants must "opt-in" to the action to be considered part of the class. The managers have requested notice be sent to potential claimants.
This action arises from what the managers call a systematic, willful and intentional policy on the part of NAPA to deprive its salaried managers and assistant managers of proper overtime pay. According to the managers, they were regularly called upon to work well in excess of 40 hours per week. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, all non-exempt employees who work beyond 40 hours a week are entitled to compensation at the rate of time and a half for all hours worked beyond 40 per week. The managers claim that NAPA failed to compensate them for any and all overtime hours, and as a result willfully violated federal law.
