Welcome Wagon Unpaid Minimum Wage and Overtime Lawsuit
On November 4, 2024, former Certified Mortgage Executives (CMEs) who worked for Welcome Wagon, Inc. filed a collective and class-action lawsuit for unpaid minimum wages, overtime pay, and other damages in New York and nationwide. The lawsuit specifically seeks to recover unpaid wages under the New York Labor Law (NYLL) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for CMEs.
The complaint alleges that Welcome Wagon, owned by Porch Group Media, paid CMEs only commissions. The complaint alleges that CMEs were underpaid and should have received minimum wages and overtime pay when they worked over 40 hours in a workweek.
Commission-only pay is allowed in some circumstances, but employees must still receive at least minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay for hours over 40 in a week. The lawsuit alleges Welcome Wagon's CMEs were underpaid because commissions alone didn't meet the minimum wage and overtime law requires.
Who might be covered by this case?
Current and former Certified Mortgage Executives who worked for Welcome Wagon in New York or nationwide and were paid solely on commission.
