Target To Pay Executive Team Leaders Thousands of DollarsIn Improperly Withheld Overtime Wages

RYE BROOK, N.Y., April 7, 2017

The claims arose under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and asserted that Target violated the FLSA by failing to pay Executive Team Leaders all wages due and owing to them for working more than 40 hours a week. Target did not pay overtime to the Executive Team Leaders at time and one-half, and Plaintiffs alleged that its practice violated the law. The full number of Executive Team Leaders who were subject to Target's pay practice is not known.  

The Target Executive Team leaders are represented by Seth Lesser, Fran Rudich, and Chris Timmel of Klafter Olsen & Lesser LLP and Marc Hepworth, David Roth and Rebecca Predovan of Hepworth Gershbaum & Roth PLLC.

"We are thrilled to obtain these thousands of dollars for these two clients," said Seth Lesser of KOL.  "It is one of Klafter Olsen & Lesser's priorities, and that of co-counsel, Hepworth Gershbaum & Roth, to help workers obtain overtime premiums to which they are entitled, and we hope that these judgments send another message to Target and other employers that they need to be vigilant in complying with the law," Mr. Lesser explained.
