Guitar Center Unpaid Overtime & Wages Class Action Lawsuit

By Matt O’Donnell

 

Guitar CenterGuitar Center has been hit with a class action employment lawsuit claiming it stiffs its workers out of overtime and regular wages.

According to the class action lawsuit, Guitar Center Stores failed to compensate its hourly, non-exempt workers for all the hours they worked, including all overtime hours in excess of 8 hours per day and/or 40 hours per week, as required by law in one or more of the following manners:

* by failing to pay for all hours worked;
* by requiring or permitting employees to work off the clock;
* by requiring or permitting employees to work through meal periods;
* by illegally and inaccurately recording time worked;
* by failing to maintain proper records;
* by falsifying hours worked; and
* through other methods to be discovered.

The Guitar Center class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all current and former non-exempt employees that worked for Guitar Center Stores in California retail locations at any time within the past four years. It is seeking damages, back pay and penalties for the proposed class for the alleged wage and labor violations.

    I have not been getting paid my correct hourly wage they said I was at an the commission. Somehow my sales for the month went from 60,000 to 28,000 an they once said %was 3to 5%,now they say mine is 1.5% even though that’s not what my sales n hours were. Been going on 2 months and hardly anything for the 30-40 hours I’ve been putting in.
