Denise Alvarado v Lowe's Corporation, Inc.
Lowe's Employees Sue for Unpaid OT
A class action lawsuit has been filed in the Middle District Court of Florida against Lowe's Companies, Inc., a North Carolina based home improvement store with 1,000 stores in 45 states, for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Class members seek an order enjoining the Company from continuing their current pay policies, compensatory damages, attorney's fees, interest and costs.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that Denise Alvarado was employed as a Sales Specialist at a Lowe's store located in Clearwater, Florida. She regularly worked more than forty (40) hours, but was not paid overtime compensation as required by the FLSA. The complaint alleges that the Company has a nationwide policy and practice of improperly failing to pay Sales Specialists who work more than forty (40) hours in a workweek.
