The $10.4 million settlement\u00a0will resolve allegations that pharmacy employees were shorted on\u00a0pay for their actual hours worked. More than 24,000 employees in California\u00a0who were employed for CVS as pharmacists, pharmacist technicians, pharmacy managers, and pharmacy\u00a0service associates,\u00a0stand to benefit from this pay out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;class action&nbsp;lawsuit, which&nbsp;was filed back in 2016under the California Labor Code,&nbsp;specifically alleged&nbsp;that CVS had policies in place that required mandatory training modules be completed. However, employees completing these modules were only paid&nbsp;for the time CVS assumed it would take to complete them and not how long it actually took.&nbsp;Affected employees&nbsp;would in turn have to complete these training sessions&nbsp;and other work&nbsp;off-the-clock, either pre-shift, during meal breaks, or post shift,&nbsp;and went completely unpaid for this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, training sessions that go uncompensated are\u00a0nothing new\u00a0in this industry. These violations\u00a0are all too common and often employees assume\u00a0that since they are mandatory compliances, there is nothing they can do in terms of recovering pay for\u00a0time spent off the clock. If you\u2019ve experienced a similar violation you may be eligible to recover pay your time spent completing work off-the-clock.
