BACKGROUND 

The law firms of Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP and Weinhaus & Potashnick have filed a class and collective action lawsuit seeking unpaid regular and overtime wages on behalf of call center employees who primarily work on the telephones speaking with customers. These employees work in call center facilities located across the country and operated by GC Services Limited Partnership and GC Services Corp. 

The lawsuit alleges that GC Services has consistently violated federal and state wage and hour laws by failing to pay its call center employees all earned wages and overtime and by failing to accurately record all time worked pre-shift and post-shift and over their unpaid lunch breaks.  Examples of the alleged unlawful practices include requiring employees to work "off-the-clock" by not paying for pre-shift work such as booting up and logging in to computer terminals, accessing a variety of computer applications and programs, skip tracing, as well as other tasks integral and indispensable to their primary job duties.  The lawsuit has been brought under federal law, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and is on behalf of all current and former GC Services call center employees who are or were paid hourly at any GC Services facility across the United States.
