Why is there a class action settlement?
The class action lawsuit alleged FCA US LLC failed to properly calculate and pay overtime wages for hourly production employees, violating the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage laws in Illinois and Ohio. The plaintiffs claimed FCA did not include all required forms of compensation in the regular rate of pay when calculating overtime.
FCA US denied the allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the risk and expense of further litigation and a possible trial.
