According to an article in The Puget Sound Business Journal, Zumiez Inc. has settled a California class action suit brought by a former employee alleging “that the company didn’t pay all overtime owed to the worker, didn’t provide meal breaks as provided by California law, didn’t provide employees with proper itemized pay stubs, and didn’t pay fired employees their waiting time penalties as required by California law.”
Zumiez Inc. said it’s settled a California class action regarding overtime pay and meal breaks for $1.3 million.
The lawsuit settlement is expected to affect the Everett youth apparel retailer’s (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) next-quarter earnings by 3 cents per share.
The class-action suit covers Zumiez employees, except store managers, who worked in California from March 5, 2004 to Sept. 13, 2009.
