Fidelity Escrow Officers Denied Overtime Pay May Be Eligible for Wage and Hour Lawsuit

(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 19, 2011 ) New York, NY – Escrow officers who have worked for Fidelity National Management Services and were denied overtime pay may be able to participate in a lawsuit to recover compensation for unpaid overtime and other damages. A Fidelity class action lawsuit has been filed in California alleging several wage and hour violations, and escrow officers who were subjected to similar wage and hour abuses may also be able to participate in legal action against their employer. If you have worked at Fidelity as an escrow officer and suspect your employer violated labor laws, visit http://www.iqovertime.com/escrow-officers-unpaid-overtime--42708.html to learn more about the Fidelity class action and to receive a free online review of your wage and hour claim.

The Fidelity class action was brought on behalf of present and former title officers, assistant title officers, escrow officers and assistant escrow officers employed in California. According to the complaint, Fidelity violated California wage and hour law by failing to properly compensate these employees for hours worked, including overtime. The company has also been accused of failing to provide meal and rest breaks, failing to reimburse for business expenses and unlawful wage deductions.

According to California overtime law, employees must be paid for all hours worked and receive overtime pay for hours worked over eight in a workday or 40 in a workweek, unless specifically exempt. Furthermore, California wage and hour law states that an employer can only make deductions required by federal or state law; expressly authorized in writing by the employee; or authorized by a collective bargaining or wage agreement. When an employer violates California wage and hour law, affected employees may have the option of filing a lawsuit to recover back wages and other damages.

Fidelity escrow officers and title officers who were denied overtime pay, subjected to illegal wage deductions or not paid for all hours worked may have valuable legal rights.
