Court Permits Overtime Pay Class Action Lawsuit Against A&P
July 12, 2007
New York State Supreme Court Judge Herman Cahn entered an Order on July 3, 2007 granting class certification to plaintiffs’ claims that A&P systematically denied overtime pay to their hourly employees. This Order means that the case will continue on behalf of thousands of cashiers, clerks, bakers, deli, and other hourly-paid workers in New York State who are challenging A&P’s alleged failure to pay overtime since 1998.
"We are pleased that the Court recognized that the workers’ claims against A&P for willfully forcing employees to work ‘off-the-clock’ to reduce payroll expenditures are suitable for review on a class-wide basis," said Rachel Geman, a partner at Lieff Cabraser.
