Case: Wage & Hour/Fair Labor Standards Act (E.D. Pa.)

A Pennsylvania federal court denied an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of a settlement agreement between Car Group Holdings, LLC and a class of sales employees of Fair Labor Standards Act and Missouri state law overtime wage violations, where the proposed relief was inadequate due to concerns over the opt-in and opt-out processes, including the waiver of claims of eligible individuals who aren’t involved in the settlement, and ambiguity over how the settlement amount would be divided.
