Kansas City - In 2002, a class action lawsuit was filed against the chain store in the US District Court in Kansas for allegedly underpaying employees. The case claimed that the company, which paid workers a set weekly salary even if they did not work a full 40 hours, prorated employee's paychecks on their first and last weeks of employment and that the company's computerized payroll system underpaid employees who had overtime. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 75,000 current and former employees nationwide. Lowe's has agreed to a settlement; the terms of the deal will be released once the period for potential class members to join the settlement had ended. (Sep-22-06)

After almost 3 years of being ripped off by Lowes via Chinese overtime pay scale many of my friends and I have been shorted between $10K up to maybe $40K each. We all received our settlement checks yesterday 11/13/07, some were under $100.00 up to just over $200.00. I think that most of us will be sending the checks back and will not be settling for these unheard of amounts. Would You?
