Wendy's
Case Category: Employment
Case Status: CLOSED
This overtime wage class action lawsuit was filed on December 26, 2001 on behalf of current and former salaried Wendy's employees in California. The complaint alleges that Wendy's misclassified its employees as exempt from overtime pay: under California law, employees who spend the majority of their time at work performing "non-managerial" duties are entitled to overtime pay even if they are paid on salary or hold the title of manager.
The court granted preliminary approval to a class wide settlement. Plaintiffs recovered monetary payments to compensate the class for overtime wages denied pursuant to Wendy's exemption policy. In order to participate in this settlement, individuals had to complete and return the Claim Form on or before March 11, 2005. A copy is provided below.
Final Approval was granted on April 18, 2005.
