Did You Work More Than 40 Hours But Only Get Paid for 40?

A class and collective action complaint has been filed against The Campbell’s Company and CorTech, LLC (“CorTech”) on behalf of certain hourly contingent workers who allegedly worked more than 40 hours per week without receiving all overtime compensation owed.

Campbell’s Contingent Worker Overtime Allegations

The complaint alleges Campbell’s business model includes using staffing agencies such as CorTech to obtain “contingent workers” and that Campbell’s and CorTech jointly employed the plaintiff and similarly situated workers. It alleges certain hourly, non-exempt contingent workers performed work beyond 40 hours per week but were not paid overtime compensation for all overtime hours worked.

• Work beyond 40 hours: The complaint alleges workers were required, permitted, or allowed to perform work beyond 40 hours, including nights and weekends.
• Time limited to 40 hours: The plaintiff alleges Campbell’s marketing leadership instructed her to submit only 40 hours per week and eight hours per day on her timesheets.
• Timekeeping restrictions: The complaint alleges Fieldglass, CorTech’s timekeeping system, blocked, restricted, or did not allow the plaintiff to enter certain weekend and overtime hours.
• Unpaid overtime: The plaintiff alleges she generally worked approximately 50 to 55 hours per week, but was paid for only 40 hours, despite being classified as non-exempt and eligible for overtime payments at 1.5 times her standard pay rate.

Which Campbell’s Contingent Workers May Be Covered?

The lawsuit seeks to cover certain current and former hourly contingent workers who worked more than 40 hours in a week without receiving overtime compensation for all overtime hours worked, including:

• Campbell’s workers nationwide: Hourly contingent workers in the United States who were employed by Campbell’s as non-manual workers, onsite or remotely, during the three years before the lawsuit was filed through the present.
• Workers in New Jersey: Hourly contingent workers employed by Campbell’s and CorTech as non-manual workers, onsite or remotely, or in substantially similar roles in New Jersey, during the six years before the lawsuit was filed through the present.
• Workers placed by CorTech at Campbell’s: Hourly contingent workers who received offer letters from CorTech and/or entered into employment contracts with CorTech, were placed by CorTech at Campbell’s within the applicable limitations period, worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, and were not paid overtime compensation for all overtime hours worked.

Claims and Relief Sought

The complaint asserts claims for failure to pay overtime under the FLSA and NJWHL, failure to pay wages under the NJWPL, and breach of contract. The plaintiff seeks unpaid wages and overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, interest, and other relief. For the New Jersey statutory claims, the complaint seeks liquidated damages equal to 200% of unpaid wages, including overtime wages.
