Budget Brakes Overtime Case Certified

We have a case against Budget Brakes, a chain of automobile service shops in Middle Tennessee. Judge Campbell of the United States District Court recently granted our Motion for Conditional Certification on this case, and notices will be sent to prospective class members shortly.

This case highlights the rights of employees to be paid for every minute they work. We allege that the company has a computer system that automatically deducts employees' lunch breaks. Unfortunately, employees are frequently unable to take all (and sometimes any) of their lunch break. This results in a significant amount of unpaid wages over an extended period of time. Stay tuned, and I'll keep everyone updated on this case.
