Court Conditionally Certifies Nationwide Collective Action of Implementation Specialists in Overtime Lawsuit Against MICROS Systems, Inc.
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 -- The MICROS Implementation Specialist overtime case, styled Wilson, et al v. MICROS Systems, Inc., No. 3:13-cv-01328 and filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in November, 2013, alleges that MICROS Systems misclassified its Implementation Specialists as exempt from the overtime laws and therefore failed to pay them for overtime hours worked as required under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and, for Implementation Specialists who performed any work within the State of California, under applicable California overtime and other wage and hour laws. MICROS Systems denies the allegations and alleges that it has at all times acted in good faith that it did not violate the FLSA or other applicable overtime laws.
On January 31, 2014, U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell granted the parties' consent motion to conditionally certify a company-wide class of all salary-paid Implementation Specialists who worked for MICROS Systems anywhere in the United States. Judge Campbell also authorized the issuance of notice to any salary-paid Implementation Specialists who worked for MICROS Systems at any time from November 26, 2009 to the present, advising them of their rights to join the lawsuit.
