Case ID: 4672 | Employment | 02/22/2006
After taking over a year, the University of Rochester settled one of the largest class action suits in the country. Employees claim the University never paid for overtime worked. "Under the University's policy, people would work through lunch, but every week the University would automatically take off a half hour for lunch each day, so some employees would have gotten their lunches, but some employees would have worked for some or all their lunch period and it was still deducted," said the attorney representing the workers.
Under the settlement, up to 40,000 hourly workers will receive a maximum of $100 for each year worked up to 7 years. The suit affects those employed under the University and its affiliates from February 1999 through December 2005. The tentative suit is awaiting approval from the court. If approved, workers can expect to see a check by fall 2006. At Lawcash.com, it is our goal to keep you informed about important legal cases, class actions and settlements.
