More than 250 managers who worked for the retail store across California between July 10, 1998, and April 30, 2004 filed a class action lawsuit alleging improper classification of store managers to avoid paying overtime. Managers performed duties that were entitled to overtime pay, yet they received no extra compensation for working over eight hours a day and 40 hours a week. A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge has awarded a $2 million class action settlement. (Jan-13-06) [MARKET WIRE]
