A $2 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging bebe Stores Inc. violated California labor law by failing to pay minimum wage and overtime, provide meal and rest breaks, provide timely pay wages, provide itemized and accurate wage statements, provide reimbursement for necessary business expenses and provide suitable seating.
If you were employed in a non-exempt position at a bebe’s retail store in California at any time during the period from Nov. 2, 2006 to Aug. 23, 2017, you may be entitled to payment from the bebe class action settlement.
Plaintiffs Lisa T. and Holly E. filed the California labor law class action lawsuit against bebe, seeking compensation for unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other relief.
California labor law protects the rights of employees. In California, employers are required to pay their employees for all hours worked, and an overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay for every hour worked beyond eight hours in a single day or 40 hours in a single workweek.
Salaried employees are also entitled to overtime pay unless they are properly classified as exempt.
Employees who work more than five hours in a workday are also entitled to a 30-minute lunch break and a 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked, according to California labor law.
Employers who violate California labor laws may face harsh penalties and be required to compensate affected employees for the violations.
The defendant denies the allegations but agreed to settle the bebe class action lawsuit to avoid the burden and expense of ongoing litigation. The bebe wage and hour settlement was preliminarily approved on Aug. 23, 2017.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the bebe unpaid overtime class action settlement is Nov. 21, 2017

One thought on California bebe Unpaid Overtime Class Action Settlement
Please stop referring to plaintiffs by their first name and middle initial, it’s ridiculous. And you got the case name wrong.
