RYE BROOK, N.Y., April 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Klafter Olsen
& Lesser LLP and Hepworth Gershbaum & Roth PLLC announce
that Target Corporation and Target Corporation of Minnesota (NYSE: TGT), have offered to pay
$83,000 to two Executive Team Leaders
for failing to pay proper overtime wages, including one
Executive Team Leader being offered $68,000, in connection with a lawsuit filed in
the District of New Jersey,
Locicero, et al. v. Target Corporation, et al., 16-cv-05592.
Target also agreed to pay the Executive Team Leader's attorney's
fees and costs.
The claims arose under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and
asserted that Target violated the FLSA by failing to pay Executive
Team Leaders all wages due and owing to them for working more than
40 hours a week. Target did not pay overtime to the Executive Team
Leaders at time and one-half, and Plaintiffs alleged that its
practice violated the law. The full number of Executive Team
Leaders who were subject to Target's pay practice is not
known.
The Target Executive Team leaders are represented by
Seth Lesser, Fran Rudich, and Chris
Timmel of Klafter Olsen & Lesser LLP and Marc Hepworth, David
Roth and Rebecca Predovan of
Hepworth Gershbaum & Roth PLLC.
"We are thrilled to obtain these thousands of dollars for these
two clients," said Seth Lesser of
KOL. "It is one of Klafter Olsen & Lesser's priorities,
and that of co-counsel, Hepworth Gershbaum & Roth, to help
workers obtain overtime premiums to which they are entitled, and we
hope that these judgments send another message to Target and other
employers that they need to be vigilant in complying with the law,"
Mr. Lesser explained.
