SSH and our co-counsel, Outten & Golden represent former ClientLogic call center employees from ClientLogic's Buffalo, N.Y., call center facility. The call center workers allege that they were required to perform work outside their scheduled shifts, for ClientLogic's benefit, without being paid regular pay or overtime. In investigating the claims against ClientLogic and other companies that run call centers, including TeleTech, JP Morgan Chase, GEICO, and HSBC, SSH and O&G have found requiring "off the clock" work to be a common practice in the call center industry. This requirement violates the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the State Labor Laws which require ClientLogic to pay its hourly workers time and a half for all hours that they work beyond forty hours in a workweek -- including time that they work outside of their scheduled shifts.
The case, Martin J. Hens and Paul Van Voorhees v. ClientLogic Operating Corporation, No. 05 CV 0381 was filed May 31, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, and seeks to force ClientLogic to pay thousands of employees the wages that they earned. The workers are seeking class action status. Click here to View a copy of the Complaint.
