According to the class action website, two groups of California Home Depot employees have been certified.
One group includes those employed by Home Depot in California as hourly, non-exempt workers since March 8, 2012.
The other group includes those who were employed as hourly, non-exempt workers at Home Depot in California since March 8, 2012, and who were required to work a shift ending after the store had closed to the public.
Lead plaintiff, California resident John Utne, alleged in the Home Depot wage & hour class action lawsuit that the hardware store giant violated California employment law.
The complaint alleged that Home Depot employees had not been properly compensated for time spent at the beginning and end of their work shifts.
Specifically, the Home Depot wage & hour class action lawsuit claimed that hourly employees were locked in the store after their shifts had ended because the store had been closed to the public for the night. The plaintiff says employees were not compensated for the time they spent trapped in the store.
The Home Depot wage & hour class action lawsuit contended that the retail gardening, hardware, and appliance chain failed to compensate Class Members for all of the hours worked, overtime, minimum wage, and even failed to provide their final pay in a timely manner when they stopped working there. In addition, the plaintiff says Home Depot refused to furnish accurate wage statements.
California has some of the most stringent wage and hour laws in the country. The state protects workers by requiring employers to pay overtime, a minimum wage, and by enforcing rest and meal breaks.
Additionally, California employers are required to keep accurate wage & hour records and provide them to employees when requested.
The Home Depot wage & hour class action lawsuit is seeking repayment for the uncompensated time employees spent at the store before and after their shifts. The plaintiff also wants Home Depot to face statutory fines.
At this point, the class action lawsuit is still pending in California federal court and no settlement agreement has been reached.
The lead plaintiff and proposed Class Members are represented by Shaun Setareh, H. Scott Leviant and William Pao of the Setareh Law Group.
The Home Depot Wage & Hour Class Action Lawsuit is Utne v. Home Depot USA Inc., Case No. 3:16-cv-01854-RS, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

The final approval hearing was scheduled for 3/7/24 but I can’t find any info on the judges decision. Any one have an update on if and when we get a settlement check?
Any idea of when the settlement will be paid out?
Yes I want an attorney to contact me in Memphis tenneseee
I worked at Home Depot and was forced to sign a statement saying I took my lunch and breaks when I wasn’t given either one! This happened on almost a daily. Along with working overtime and not getting paid, working through my breaks and lunch. When a coworker kept harassing me for not going out with him I was fired because he said I threatened him, even after I explained what had happened, put it in writing when I was told they just needed for me to explain what was happening to me. They said if I made a statement they would take action against him. I believed them went to work the following morning and was told I had to leave! I was employee of the month 3 times!!! They said I was being terminated for being late. Which came out of nowhere!! They knew what they did was wrong and tried to cover it up. They are so guilty of so many violations its crazy.
