CVS Pharmacy Tech Overtime Class Action Lawsuit
By Matt O’Donnell
The unpaid overtime lawsuit was filed by Georgia resident Amber Mack, who worked as a pharmacy technician at CVS between 2008 and 2011.
Mack alleges in the class action lawsuit that throughout her three years of employment, she regularly worked over 40 hours per week without overtime compensation, and that her supervisors were aware of the unpaid hours she was working.
“Plaintiff was deprived of compensation to which she was entitled through Defendants’ custom and/or practice of failing to credit pharmacy technicians and lead pharmacy technicians for all hours worked – specifically, Defendants’ custom and/or practice of routinely requiring pharmacy technicians and lead pharmacy technicians to perform compensable work ‘off-the-clock,’” the class action lawsuit states.
As a result, CVS failed to pay its pharmacy techs properly for all overtime hours they worked, in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The CVS unpaid overtime class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all individuals employed by CVS as pharmacy techs and/or lead pharmacy techs at any CVS store nationwide who performed work off-the-clock and were not credited and paid properly for all overtime hours worked during any pay period in the past three years.
It is seeking unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees and court costs.
