Attorney Larry Jones Asks Court For Class Certification in Failure to Pay Overtime Case Against Yellow Ambuilance of Louisville
Attorney Larry Jones filed a motion for class certification this week in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Jones seeks to represent employees of Yellow ambulance going as far back as 2002 for Yellow Ambulance's illegal policies regarding lunch breaks and rest breaks. In particular, Yellow Ambulance violated Kentucky law by engaging in a pattern and practice of not allowing employees to take lunch breaks between the 3rd and 5th hour of their shifts as required by Kentucky law. Additionally, Yellow Ambulance failed to have a policy in place to ensure that its employees received 10 minute rest breaks every four hours.
In addition to not scheduling the lunch breaks, Yellow Ambulance did not allow its employees to have a 30 minute uninterrupted period for lunch as required by Kentucky law. Nevertheless, the company deducted 1/2 hour from each employee's pay on the assumption that they took a lunch break --even though Yellow's own documents prove that the employees did not get their lunch breaks.
