Wage and Hour Claims

Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff wage and hour attorneys are proud to have helped thousands of workers in class action cases recover wages and penalties due to employees for violation of California and federal wage and hour law.

Types of wage and hour violations:

UPS Class Action Settlement

KCR served as co-lead counsel on behalf of 23,600 United Parcel Service (UPS) drivers to recover unpaid wages based on allegations that the employer failed to provide meal and rest periods. The cases settled in 2006 for an $87 million cash payment and other benefits to class members valued at more than $4 million.

This is believed to be the largest “meal and rest period” settlement in California history, and was one of the largest nationwide wage and hour settlements of 2006.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Class Action Lawsuit

In late 2006, KCR filed a class action against PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, alleging that the company misclassified its unlicensed associate accountants as exempt employees to avoid paying these employees hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime and other benefits mandated by California law.

In March 2008, the Court certified a class of PwC’s attest associates. Bill Kershaw, Lyle Cook and Stuart Talley of KCR were appointed class counsel.
