On December 27, 2018, in Federal District Court in New York, the Shavitz Law Group filed a lawsuit for unpaid overtime for Boutique Managers employed nationally within the last three years by Godiva. The lawsuit seeks damages for Godiva’s Boutique Managers Working in 182 Stores Across the Country
The Plaintiffs claim that they are owed unpaid overtime wages and other damages because they regularly worked overtime hours (more than 40 hours in a week) but only received their base salary, but not time-and-a-half wages for their overtime hours worked. The Fair Labor Standards Act provides that job titles do not determine one’s entitlement to overtime pay.
