Pepsi, the multinational beverage and snack\u00a0producer, has resolved claims of unpaid wages<\/a>\u00a0for nearly\u00a0$13 million after a New York federal\u00a0judge preliminary\u00a0approves the deal.\u00a0Approximately 70,000\u00a0current and former\u00a0hourly employees\u00a0who were employed\u00a0by Pepsi between\u00a0December 1, 2021\u00a0and the present\u00a0stand to benefit\u00a0from the $12.75\u00a0million\u00a0settlement.\u00a0The case, originally filed\u00a0January of this year, alleged that a widespread Kronos hack,\u00a0that caused an outage of\u00a0Pepsi\u2019s\u00a0timekeeping system for several months, caused them to\u00a0incorrectly keep track of their employees\u2019 schedules resulting in\u00a0significant underpayment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit specifically alleged that after the Kronos cyber security incident, Pepsi wrongly decided to keep track of their employees\u2019 hours by taking the average of prior payments and other estimation measures. These averaging techniques of past pay periods did not accurately reflect all the hours thousands of employees worked leading up to the busy holiday season and beyond. This caused hourly employees who worked over 40 hours a week to be short on their regular hourly rate pay as well as time and a half overtime pay and additional claims of untimely pay. The case which was brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (\u201cFLSA\u201d) as well as several state laws will see itself fullyresolved once it receives final approval this upcoming April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case prompted several other proposed class actions under the FLSA that alleged unpaid wages due to the Kronos hack. There is no reason why hard working employees should have to carry the cost of the Kronos outage by accepting underpayment for months on end. Anytime an employer decides to calculate its workers\u2019 overtime pay based on a formula that does not take into account the actual amount of overtime completed the result will be illegal pay practices. If you\u2019ve been a victim of improper wage payment, no matter the cause, you may be entitled to recover your pay and damages. Give our employment law firm, Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP, a call for a free and confidential consultation at (212)300-0375 or visit our website here<\/a><\/strong> for additional helpful information regarding your rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
