The Cerner Corporation has agreed to pay $4.5 million to end a wage and hour class action lawsuit alleging the company failed to pay overtime, and failed to properly calculate overtime wages for certain employees.
Lead plaintiffs, Fred Speer and Mike McGuirk, claimed in their class action lawsuit that Cerner violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to properly calculate and pay overtime to salaried, non-exempt employees.
The FLSA provides important rights to American workers, including the minimum wage, rest and meal breaks, and overtime pay for extra hours. In response to employers forcing workers to work harder and longer, class action lawsuits alleging FLSA violations have increased over the past several years.
Class Members include those employed by Cerner in Missouri between March 5, 2012 and the present who were not paid overtime rates that they were entitled to as well as those whose overtime pay was improperly calculated.
Cerner denies any wrongdoing, but said that it agreed to the settlement to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation.
The deadline to opt out of the class action settlement is April 30, 2018.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include those who worked for Cerner in Missouri from March 5, 2012 until the present.
Potential Award
Varies depending on duration of employment, number of valid claims submitted, and whether the employee worked in Missouri or exclusively outside of Missouri.
