Complaint Filed Against Labor Ready

This Website is designed to provide you with information on rights you may have to be paid substantial overtime back wages from Labor Ready.

 

The two law firms of Morris, Polich & Purdy and Pierry Moorehead, McAdams & Shenoi have filed a complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court alleging that Labor Ready had improperly classified certain categories of workers as exempt from being paid overtime, when the duties these workers performed were not in fact exempt under California and federal law. The complaint also alleges that Labor Ready improperly "wrote down" the time of certain hourly workers (CSRI's and CSRII's) so as to avoid paying overtime when it was due.

 

If you are/were a salaried branch manager, account representative and/or CSRIII for Labor Ready within the last five years and worked at any time during that period more than 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week, we are interested in talking to you to find out about the duties you performed, the hours you worked, and whether you might be eligible for back overtime payments.

We are also interested in talking to you if you have any information on hourly workers not being paid overtime for hours they worked in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week.

 

Finally, if you have information of Labor Ready agreeing with its customers to discriminate against women temporary workers by using the terms “big hands” for men and “ little hands or small hands” for women, we would like to talk with you about that as well since we have a separate case against Labor Ready for that sort of discrimination.
