Irwin Industries has agreed to pay $400,000 to settle claims it failed to properly provide breaks and compensation to its employees.
Anyone who worked as an hourly, non-exempt Irwin employee between Feb. 17, 2011, and Dec. 2, 2020, and worked on oil platforms off the California coast for shifts of 12 hours or longer may be entitled to compensation.
A class action lawsuit filed by lead plaintiff Carl Curtis accused Irwin Industries of failing to provide meal and rest periods, pay all wages, provide lawful paychecks, and pay all wages due at employment termination as required by law. The complaint also alleged Irwin Industries engaged in unfair competition.
The company denies all accusations of wrongdoing and claims it acted appropriately, but has agreed to a settlement to end the class action lawsuit.
Irwin Industries provides industrial construction and maintenance services for the on- and offshore oil and gas, petrochemical, and other heavy industries, according to its LinkedIn page.
Employees who are affected by the settlement will automatically be included.
Those who do not exclude themselves will receive a proportionate share of the net settlement amount.
The amount each employee receives will be determined by the number of workweeks they worked, according to Irwin Industries data; the total number of workweeks worked by all Class Members, which will then be multiplied by the amount available for distribution to employees who don’t ask to be excluded. The date the Class Member’s employment ended also will be a factor in determining the amount they will receive.
The exact amount of each payment cannot yet be calculated.
A final approval hearing is scheduled for April 12, 2021.
No claim form is needed to benefit from the Irwin Industries settlement.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is Feb. 19, 2021.
