A group of employees have secured an $8.75 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging iQor failed to pay its call center agents for short rest breaks in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Class Members include sales agents, collection agents, and customer care agents for iQor in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina.
Settlement periods for Class Members varies depending on the state where they worked for iQor, but ranges between 2007 and 2014.
Lead plaintiff Paris Shoots alleged in the iQor wage and hour class action lawsuit that the company, which offers customer support and product evaluation services to other companies, failed to pay him and other contact center employees for short rest breaks as required under federal and state employment laws.
According to the class action lawsuit, iQor operates 25 centers throughout the United States. It offers business services, such as product support, business analytics, accounts receivable, and other aftermarket services.
Shoots alleged that he worked for iQor in Minnesota from March 2013 until July 2014. During this time, the company used a program called “TimeQey” to track contact center employee hours.
The iQor class action lawsuit alleged that TimeQey systematically underpaid iQor employees, labeling the time as a “break” if the employee’s computer remained idle for two or more minutes.
Shoots alleged that he and other employees were not paid for short restroom breaks and even for meetings and calls when employees do not use their computer.
The iQor wage and hour class action lawsuit alleged that the TimeQey system violated state labor laws and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The FLSA and state labor laws mandate that employees be fairly paid for time that they are working. Additionally, employees must be provided reasonable meal and rest breaks.
Class Members will be able to make a claim under the terms of the iQor settlement based on the time they worked for the company and payroll data.
Class Members will be automatically enrolled for a claim based on information provided by iQor, no Claim Form or proof will need to be submitted.
However, iQor employees who want to be excluded from the terms of the class action settlement or wish to object to it, must do so no later than April 10, 2019.

91 thoughts oniQor Call Center Unpaid Wages Class Action Settlement
I sent a notarized mail of mail and name change!!! And I haven’t heard anything and the phone number 217 563 4116 has been disconnected
I worked at iQor from June 2013 to April 2015. I got a notice about a check that I never received. I have moved since then. I called the number everyone has posted and left voicemails but no response. What do I do?
I emailed and was given Angeion Group as the contact to update addresses. Their phone number is 215-563-4116.
I’m trying to see what address my check would have been sent to since I’ve moved
I moved and never received a check. I need the number to call and update my address so I can receive mine.
215-563-4116 The attorneys office hired a settlement company to distribute the checks, with out telling anyone. Mine was sent to a very old address back in October 2019. No one contacted me that the check was not cashed or anything. I just contacted my attorney office and they gave me the number. You will have to have an affidavit notarized, in order to get a new check issued. I am in that process now myself.
Good luck!
Did anyone have an issue cashing their check if so was given the reason why?
I’ve called and left multiple voicemails trying to get my address updated so I can get my check like my aunt did. We worked there at the same time and she has gotten hers. But no one has called me back. What do I need to do?
Same here. I have moved as well. I was there from 2012 to 2016. I need to know who i need to contact or update to received the check.
I worked here too…. at that time…. how can I get my settlement?
I work for iqor 2010-2014 and I need to know how to get my money
I worked for iQor in 2011 and i need to know how to go about getting my money
