New York call center employees filed a class action lawsuit against their employer for allegedly refusing to pay them for prep time. The lawsuit alleged Cablevision violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act by failing to pay hourly employees for extra time and failing to pay overtime. The class action settlement terms were undisclosed but could cover at least 1,000 Cablevision call center employees and involve millions of dollars in back wages. (Aug-25-05)
