Case ID: 5145 | Miscellaneous | 07/28/2008
Lawyers from two Canadian law firms, Roy Elliott, Kim O'Connor LLP (REKO)and Sack Goldblatt Mitchell LLP (SGM) announced today that they are launching a second unpaid overtime class action suit, this time against Scotiabank.
The action covers thousands of current and former non-management, non-unionized employees of Scotiabank who are or were personal bankers or other front-line customer service employees (limited to personal bankers, commercial bankers and account executives) working at Scotiabank retail branch offices across Canada (the "class members"). The statement of claim alleges that class members are assigned heavier workloads than can be completed within their standard working hours. They are required or permitted to work overtime to meet the demands of their jobs and Scotiabank fails to pay for the overtime work in direct contravention of the Canadian Labour Code under which they are regulated. It affects bank employees in all regions of the country and in rural, as well as urban areas."
