JP Morgan Chase & Co.
Overtime Pay Class Action
On March 7th, 2008, technical support workers of JP Morgan Chase filed a class action lawsuit seeking overtime pay in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and New Jersey and New York wage and hour laws. This class action lawsuit, Andrew Clarke v. JP Morgan Chase & Co., was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York.

The Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and all current and former technical production support workers grade 603 and below, who before early 2007 were classified as exempt from overtime pay requirements but were reclassified as non-exempt employees starting in early 2007. These workers had the primary duty of providing day-to-day computer and information technology installation, configuring, monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting and support services for Chase. Their positions include: Database Management Analysts, Engineer Analysts, Engineers, Tech Ops Technicians, Tech Ops Analysts, Service Desk Leads, Quality Assurance Analysts and others in roles with comparable levels of skills. Plaintiffs allege that while Chase reclassified all or most of the class members as nonexempt, it has not paid workers for unpaid overtime time previously worked.
The proposed class likely includes at least several hundred members. Damages for the class could equal millions or tens of millions of dollars. In recent years, our firm (Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP), along with co-counsel, has represented technical support workers seeking to recover overtime pay in similar class action cases. Such cases have resulted in settlements for the technical support workers, including: $24 million for IT workers at Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in 2005, $12.8 million for BSCs at Wells Fargo in 2007, $65 million for IT workers at IBM in 2007, and $7.7 million for IT workers at Cadence in 2008.
