Engineers and Tech Works File Overtime Pay Lawsuit Against Cadence Design Systems
May 30, 2007
Employees of Cadence Design Systems, Inc. filed a nationwide class action lawsuit in federal court charging the computer services company with failure to pay overtime wages in violation of federal and state labor laws.
The suit was filed on behalf of current and former Cadence Systems Engineers, who were wrongly classified by the company as exempt from the overtime provisions of wage and hour laws. "Hundreds of Cadence technical support workers put in long hours to support the company's computer systems and help Cadence bring in $1.5 billion in revenues," stated Lieff Cabraser partner Kelly M. Dermody. "These employees deserve to be paid for their efforts to make Cadence successful."
