For Unpaid Wages and Unpaid Overtime

Class Action Against Battelle memorial institute

 

 

On March 8, 2013, the Court preliminarily approved the Settlement reached between the parties.  The Court approved the Notice which the Settlement Administrator (Simpluris, Inc.) mailed to all the class members.  If you are a class member (either because you opted into the lawsuit and/or you were included in the Court's Class Certification Order dated December 6, 2010), then you should have received the Notice. 

 

There are two groups of class members: 

Group A- FLSA Overtime Class: Group A class members are those who filed an opt-in form on or before February 19, 2011.

Group B- State Law Straight Wages Class: Group B class members are those who did not file an opt-in form (or did not file a written consent to join the lawsuit before February 9, 2011).

If you have not received the Notice of Settlement and/or other forms, or if your address has changed, please contact the Class Counsel or the Settlement Administrator immediately.
