Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused Walmart and Sam’s Club of violating labor laws by not paying employees for missed breaks and off-the-clock work.
According to reader comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Walmart class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $4,406.10 on Dec. 17, 2016.
If you filed a claim for the Walmart wage and hour settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!
The Walmart settlement resolves allegations that the retailer did not financially compensate its Pennsylvania employees for missed rest breaks in violation of federal labor laws as well as Walmart’s employee handbook.
According to the class action lawsuit, hourly workers at both Walmart and Sam’s Club within the state of Pennsylvania did not receive pay for tasks performed off the clock or missed meal and rest breaks.
Walmart denied the allegations and appealed the near $141 million verdict to the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the court decided not to hear the case.
Class Members included all hourly workers employed by Walmart or Sam’s Club within the state of Pennsylvania between Mar. 19, 1998 and May 1, 2006.
The deadline to file a claim for the Walmart employee settlement passed on Oct. 1, 2016.
