Supermarket chain Gristede’s wrongly denied overtime pay to more than 400 current and former lower-level managers, a federal judge ruled last week. Federal District Judge Paul A. Crotty found that Gristede’s had sought to treat the managers as hourly workers for some purposes but as salaried employees for the purposes of overtime. Attorneys for the plaintiffs estimate that damages could reach $25 million.
This is a common concern in business, where employees are not given their appropriate pay as employers cut corners to save costs for better bottom line performance.
