Employee Wage Lawyer and Overtime Lawyer

Cotter, Macy v. Verizon of New England Inc.

Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP is prosecuting a class action on behalf of call center operators who handled business and residential accounts for the Verizon of New England Inc ("Verizon").  These employees allege that they were not paid for all working hours despite being closely monitored by Verizon.  The employees seek to recover their unpaid wages for off-the-clock hours, including wages for unpaid overtime hours.  Specifically, the employees seek to recover time worked before the start of their scheduled shift (booting up their computers and opening up software) so that they could be ready to work as soon as their shift began.  The case is filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Worcester Division.

This case is typical of many wage and hour cases being filed around the country on behalf of call center operators who are not paid for all working hours.  If you are a call center operator who believes that you have not been paid for all hours worked, you might want to speak with a wage lawyer or overtime lawyer.  Please contact Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP by clicking here or calling 1-800-287-8119.

Larkin v. Yelp! Inc.

Shapiro Haber & Urmy LLP is working with two California law firms to prosecute a class action on behalf of Account Executive Trainees, Junior Account Executives, Account Executives, and Senior Account Executives (collectively, “Account Executives”) employed at Yelp! Inc. (“Yelp”).  The complaint alleges that Yelp misclassified Account Executives employees as “exempt” from the federal and California laws requiring the payment of overtime wages for all overtime hours.  On that basis, the complaint alleges that Yelp failed to pay its Account Executive employees time-and-one half their regular hourly rate for all hours worked over 40 in a single work week.  The case is brought under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the California overtime law.  The case is filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.
