PRACTICE AREAS
PICK-UP-STIX CAMPAIGNS
In the event of a class action wage and hour case, organizations often find themselves facing substantial settlements and unforeseen repercussions. However, recent Court rulings, such as Chindarah v. Pick Up Stix, have provided employers with a potential avenue to mitigate exposure to wage and hour class actions.
This groundbreaking case established that an employer can resolve an employee's wage claim through a compromised settlement if a bona fide dispute exists regarding the wages owed.
Pick-up-Stix campaigns focus on settling claims with individual putative class members as a means to reduce potential liability in the class action itself.
Leveraging his extensive investigative and human resources experience, Kerry Tucker adeptly obtains release agreements from putative class members, freeing them from any claims related to the ongoing matter and preventing their participation in any future class actions involving the released claims.
By settling the underlying wage and hour claims of non-parties, employees who choose to engage in the campaign are no longer considered "aggrieved employees," saving the employer millions of dollars in settlement claims.
