Bank Of America Lawsuit: Company Accused Of Not Paying Overtime
Bank of America Corp., the nation's largest bank by assets, has been sued in federal court-- accused of not paying its employees proper overtime and other wages.
According to a complaint filed in the United States District Court, District of Kansas, Bank of America requires employees to work more than eight hours a day or 40 hours a week, yet does not pay them both for overtime and for all straight time worked.
The complaint also accuses the company of requiring employees to work during unpaid breaks, failing to provide meal and rest breaks, and failing to timely pay terminated employees for earned wages and accrued vacation time.
Vanessa Cantley, attorney and partner at Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones, is representing current and former employees of Bank of America in claims against the company for violating the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state laws. She comments: "It is infuriating when any company exploits its workers and violates wage and hour laws. We believe Bank of America has made millions of dollars of ill-gained profit at the expense of its hourly employees and systematically failed to provide proper working conditions for them. They must be held accountable. I will be asking a judge to put a stop to Bank of America's illegal conduct. I will also be seeking monetary damages to compensate my clients and punitive damages to punish the company for years of intentional exploitation of its workers."
