UPDATE: On
July 15, 2009, the Court issued an order conditionally certifying
the class action.
Creten-Miller,
et al. v. Westlake “Ace” Hardware, Inc.
United States District Court,
District of Kansas, case no.: 08-2351
Filed: July 31, 2008
Our office along with Brady & Associates filed
a collective action claim against Westlake “Ace” Hardware,
Inc. on behalf of all employees working as front end supervisors
for unpaid overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The lawsuit alleges that Westlake incorrectly classified these
employees as salary exempt and failed to pay them overtime. This
lawsuit claims that such employees should have been paid overtime
for hours worked in excess of forty per work week. We will also
examine whether floor supervisors were also incorrectly classified
as salary exempt. This lawsuit will address persons holding these
positions over the past three years at all of Westlake’s
stores.
For more information on this matter, please feel
free to contact us.
You can also complete
a questionnaire form on line that will be sent directly to
us.
