Wells Fargo IT Staff Have Been Given Green Light For Class Action In Unpaid Overtime Wages

November 3, 2009 at 10:11 am by Jill Hernandez | Profile

Current and former Wells Fargo technical support staff who installed, maintained and supported the bank's software and hardware, filed a complaint in 2008 charging that they should have been paid overtime for hours worked over 40 per week.

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has granted Plaintiffs' motion for certification of the case as a collective action. This lawsuit covers 3000 employees from both California and Minnesota under the FLSA, California and Minnesota state laws.

Eligible staff will now be sent a form and have 75 days to join the case.
