INTRODUCTION
This case was filed by
Plaintiffs Jason Anderson, Willie Davis and Shane Malaspina on June 7, 2006 in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The Plaintiffs have alleged in their
complaint that their former employer, Cinram, violated the Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. §216, et seq. by failing to pay them overtime for all
hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week. The claims by Anderson and the other
Plaintiffs involve how Cinram rounded the time of employees, as opposed to
paying them for all time shown on their time clock entries. The law allows an employer to round the time
backwards and forwards to the nearest five minutes, so long as an employee is
properly paid for all time worked over a period of time. Plaintiffs in this action maintain that Cinram
rounded for its benefit and not for the benefit of the employee, resulting in
the Plaintiffs being underpaid compared to time actually shown on their time
clock 90% of the time. Since filing of
the lawsuit, and before the Court required Cinram to produce a list of affected
employees, four additional Plaintiffs have opted into this action. Notice has now been sent to thousands of
current and former employees of Cinram, who may have been similarly affected by
the time clock/payroll practices of Cinram, as alleged in this lawsuit in order
to give them an opportunity to join this lawsuit as well.
To the extent that you worked for Cinram at any time from
January 18, 2004 to the present, and worked over forty hours in a work week and
were not paid 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess
of forty. The following are frequently
asked questions about eligibility for participation in the lawsuit, as well as
for questions related to the lawsuit.
