Court Approves $10 Million Settlement In Class Action Lawsuit Against Big Lots
February 4, 2004
Los Angeles--A San Bernardino Superior Court judge has granted final approval to a class-wide settlement on behalf of 1,451 store managers and assistant store managers employed at Big Lots and Pic-N-Save stores for the past six years.
Under the settlement approved by Judge Walter Blackwell, Big Lots, now the owner of Pic-N-Save, will pay up to $10 million to resolve claims for unpaid overtime by the managers who had been classified as exempt from overtime by the company.
The plaintiff class was represented by The Quisenberry Law Firm of Century City. "Our team did a great job to obtain this result, it took a lot of work," said John Quisenberry. "Big Lots should also be commended for ultimately acting responsibly toward its employees."
The Quisenberry Firm recently initiated a similar action against Wal-Mart for failing to pay overtime to its assistant managers.
