J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

On December 18, 2003, current and former J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. customer service employees in New York filed a class action lawsuit in federal court seeking unpaid overtime and related remedies. The suit alleges that J.P. Morgan Chase has avoided paying overtime wages by misclassifying certain employees under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and New York's Labor Law. The employees contend that their jobs entail routine customer service functions for which J.P. Morgan Chase properly had paid them time-and-a-half overtime in the past. But after J.P. Morgan promoted them into re-titled positions, it stopped paying them overtime, although their functions remained the same. The claimants' job titles include client service officer, account officer, and assistant treasurer.

Call Center Workers

On February 5, 2004, a former J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. call center worker in New York filed a class action lawsuit in federal court pursuant to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and New York's Labor Law. The suit alleges that J.P. Morgan Chase requires its telephone-dedicated employees to work prior to and after their scheduled telephone shifts without pay in call centers located in New York State and Texas. The case seeks recovery of unpaid wages and overtime premium pay for telephone-dedicated employees, who had to work before and after their scheduled telephone shifts without pay.
