Adecco Vacation Pay Class Action Lawsuit
Description of Settlement
In April 2006, Lieff Cabraser, with co-counsel, won final court approval of two class action settlements on behalf of Adecco USA, Inc. ("Adecco") employees in California denied vacation benefits wrongfully withheld by Adecco, the nation's largest staffing agency. The cases involved both full-time ("colleague") employees (in Senior v. Adecco USA, Inc., Case No. CGC 04-431031 (S.F. Co. Sup. Ct.)) and temporary employees (in Hyatt v. Adecco USA, Inc., Case No. RG05198979 (Alameda Co. Sup. Ct.)). Read the final settlement approval order in the Senior case or read the final settlement approval order for Hyatt case.
Over 500 Class members in the Senior case will be paid over $700,000 in compensation for the vacation benefits they were wrongfully denied.
Over 15,000 Class members in the Hyatt case will be paid $2,400,000 in compensation for the vacation benefits they were wrongfully denied.
These benefits were paid out during the summer of 2006 by the claims administrator, Gilardi & Co.

Our firm is committed to protecting the rights of employees nationwide to equitable treatment and fair wages. Lieff Cabraser employment attorneys have represented thousands of employees seeking to vindicate their rights in cases involving gender and race discrimination, overtime pay and wage and hour violations, and the mishandling of funds in pension and 401k plans.
We served as counsel in a class action suit against Abercrombie & Fitch, which led to a novel, precedent-setting settlement in 2005. The settlement required the retail clothing giant to pay $40 million to Latino, African-American, Asian-American and female applicants and employees who charged the company with discrimination. In addition, Abercrombie was required to promote diversity among its workforce and to prevent discrimination based on race or gender.
We served as class counsel for approximately 25,000 female employees of,
and applicants for employment with, Home Depot. In 1998, the Court approved
a settlement of the case in which Home Depot agreed to modify its hiring,
promotion and compensation practices, and paid $87.5 million, one of the highest
amounts ever paid in a gender discrimination case.
Lieff Cabraser has obtained lost wages and benefits for employees in overtime pay lawsuits, including the successful representation of employees of Denny's, Carrow's, the advertising firm TMP Worldwide, the California State Automobile Association, as well as several corporations in the computer industry including IBM and Computer Sciences Corporation.
