Class Action Lawsuits
/Join Your Voice With Others in a Class Action Lawsuit
If you have a legitimate claim against your employer for violating federal and state wage-and-hour laws, you are probably not alone at your company. Many businesses find it quite profitable to engage in illegal practices, knowing that employees won’t notice or will be too afraid to complain. By joining in an employment class action lawsuit, you add your voice to many other co-workers facing the same problem.
For an employment class action lawsuit to proceed, a judge must first certify that enough evidence exists to show that all plaintiffs have suffered financial damages for a similar violation. Companies facing certified class action employment lawsuits know they must show up at the negotiating table with full and fair offers for compensation, or else they face significant damages awarded by juries.
