Vivint mandatory training class action lawsuit lawyers have launched an investigation into whether or not the company adequately compensated employees who underwent seminars, lectures or other meetings in order to continue on their jobs.
The Department of Labor has established a four-step procedure for determining whether or not such activities must be considered as part of a worker’s hourly pay. In order for it to be uncompensated, “it is outside normal, it is voluntary, not job related, and no other work is concurrently performed,” according to a fact sheet discussing hours worked under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Just as companies cannot ask employees to clock out for breaks or before their shift is done, any mandatory training that does not meet all of those four standards must also be included in a worker’s pay. It is believed that Vivint may have possibly not done so in certain instances regarding its training. It is also possible that travel costs may have been incurred above and beyond those accounted for by the FLSA and Department of Labor regulations.
Vivint is a company with international operations that began as a home security company in 1997. It has expanded to provide home automation related to home security as well as solar panel installation in California and other states.
However, the company has also been linked to unpaid training class action lawsuits before. It was accused of robocalling cellular phones in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in two separate Vivint class action lawsuits, and the company has also either been charged or settled lawsuits regarding deceptive marketing practices or fined for code violations by 14 states.
The potential Vivint lawsuits would be similar to unpaid wage class action lawsuits regarding misclassification of workers as either exempt or subject to a tipped wage when they are not performing those kinds of duties. However, many people are only becoming aware more recently of the full scope of their rights as workers, including pay for mandatory training.

I would like to file class action lawsuit against the SBA targeted advance program. My business is in a targeted advance area an I was approved for a EIDL loan. I never received targeted advance email invite. I contacted them so many times just to get no response. Millions are experiencing this situation.
Hi, in 2018, I took a left hand turn in Largo , Fl. In my lane, there was a completely stopped city garbaga truck in my lane. I signaled that i was going around it. Without any back up noises (as is the norm), this guy backed into me in the middle of the road (he said he was trying to do a uturn (on residential road two blocks long with 7 entry points). The police report was not allowed. That was the only statement i had from a 10 yr old boy that said the guy backed into me. The city claimed no liability and blamed me for negligence. No tickets were issued. If this had been ANYTHING other than a city vehicle, this case would have been over 2 yrs ago. Went thru 2 lawyers. I am 100 percent disabled with Bipolar Depression, PTSD, panic, and anxiety. Lawyer 2 had a “thing” against mental disabilities which did not surface until the lawsuit came closer. The city will not even let you sue for 6 months……..so I lost half a year. Over 25,000 in medical bills will become mine and I still have headaches. Lawyer 2 prepped me for deposition on a Friday, then the following Monday, cancelled the depositions and filed for motion to withdraw due to irreconcilable differences. He offered me a totally illegal settlement……..in an email, which i declined. There was no mediation even involved and the city claimed no negligence. He did not even send me a legal proposal. My phychiatrist wrote a letter to the court stating that if they allowed him to withdraw my health would be affected. The judge let him withdraw anyway. My health was affected. I lost my pt job…….from July up until beginning of Oct, I did not work. Could not work. I now work pt but cannot be around people and am petrified to drive. From what I have researched……….no one wins against the city. I cannot be the only one this has happened to……….the court system failed me allowing him to withdraw……did they not also violate my civil rights under the ADA? They sent me a letter telling me I had to go pro se if i could not find a lawyer to take over. No lawyer will take a case against the city from 2018 once it hit 2021. Seems to me like they dragged it out just to hit their 4 year mark that would not allow me to sue.
How do you suffer from all those issues from a car backing into you? Did you suffer physical injuries? How badly was your car damaged? It seems like all of your cases were thrown out because they lacked merit and seemed frivolous.
Allianz Travel insurance denies claim for flight reimbursement after Cruise ship vendor cancellation due to COVID after paying an identical one by mistake.
I have been overcharged/double charged overdraft fees with my bank every pay period.Thats twice a month. Their solution for me was not to pay all my bills at once and keep a record of what I spend because what they have pending on their side may not be what I see on mine.
I purchased a living room sectional from Brandsmart USA. I paid over $2,000 for it cash. After 4mos. the middle recliner broke. I called the company to notify them my couch was broken, I was immediately directed to schedule an appoint,ent for repair with the vendor Fast Furniture which repaired the items under warranty. I went in person to the store & spoke with a service manager which gave me the runaround. I visited the store a total of 6 times and my warranty runs out on 01/06/ 2022. And, my couch is still broken. How do I sue them to get my money back or make the proper repairs???
Received letter from Catholic retirement fund…underfunded etc. I retired from Benilde-St. Margaret’s High School in Mn. I was an Accountant. I instructed new employees as to benefits. We were NEVER made aware of the fact that the fund had opted out of the federal pension fund insurance! The retirement was an inducement along with the other benefits to accept lower wages for the long term benefits. This is, in my opinion, terribly fraudulent, immoral and deceitful. This devastating to those of us that depend on our retirement income. You cannot conceive how I feel misleading these employees!

Clarence: I hope you are finally settled. I had a boss that used to say, “If you don’t like it here, there’s the door.” After 30 years, I finally took it.
