Lawsuit on overtime pay cites Wells Fargo
Des Moines Register
November 2, 2009
A class-action lawsuit claims that Wells Fargo should have paid overtime to technical support workers. An estimated 3,000 current and former Wells Fargo employees are eligible to participate, said Jahan Sagafi, of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP of San Francisco, which represents the plaintiffs.
"We estimate that there are several hundred class members in Iowa, and some of those have already filed their forms," he wrote in an e-mail. Wells Fargo employs about 12,000 people in Iowa, most of them in the Des Moines area. The lawsuit, filed in a California federal court in May 2008, was certified as a class-action case on Tuesday. The lawsuit claims the company misclassified technical support workers as exempt from overtime laws.
