We represent Assistant Shift Supervisors in a wage and hour collective action against CCA, which operates approximately 65 detention facilities in 19 states across the country. The case is titled Demetria McFadden, individually and on behalf of a class of others similarly situated v. Corrections Corporation of America, Case No. 09-CV-2273, and was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The lawsuit alleges that CCA violated federal wage and hour laws by misclassifying its Assistant Shift Supervisors as exempt employees and consistently failing to accurately record all time worked. It further alleges that CCA wrongfully requires its Assistant Shift Supervisors to be present at work and perform work in excess of 40 hours in a work week and fails to pay any overtime compensation.
On February 10, 2010, the court authorized notice to be sent to all Assistant Shift Supervisors apprising them of their potential right to join this action. On March 4, 2010, the notice was mailed to all Assistant Shift Supervisors who worked for CCA in the past three years or are current employees. The notice describes the lawsuit and answers many frequently asked questions. Click here to read the notice. The deadline to return the paperwork to join this lawsuit is May 3, 2010. Even if you did not receive the notice, you may still be eligible to join the class. You may contact us to determine if you are eligible or if you have any questions.
