Morgan & Morgan Announces Rent-A-Center Overtime Lawsuit On Behalf of Customer Account Reps

Oct. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Figueroa  v. Rent-A-Center East, Inc.,  et al., a lawsuit involving allegations of unpaid overtime wages and violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), has been filed as a collective/class action in federal court in New York.  The Plaintiffs in this action, represented by Andrew Frisch of Morgan & Morgan, are Customer Account Representatives who claim that they did not receive proper overtime compensation for overtime hours worked.

Figueroa  v. Rent-A-Center East, Inc.,  (Case Number: 1:2012cv04864) was filed in the Eastern District of New York.  The presiding judge is Judge I. Leo Glasser.

In this putative collective/class action lawsuit, the Customer Account Representatives allege that Rent-A-Center violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law by failing to properly compensation them for overtime hours.  

Morgan and Morgan overtime attorney Andrew R. Frisch and Gottlieb & Associates attorney Jeffrey Gottlieb are representing the Customer Account Representatives in an effort to recover unpaid wages for the overtime work they performed, but for which they did not receive the proper overtime pay.  According to a federal law known as the FLSA, non-exempt employees are entitled to time-and-a-half pay for all hours worked over forty in a given workweek.   New York’s Labor Law has similar provisions.

All unpaid overtime claims filed by Customer Account Representatives who worked for Rent-A-Center within the last three (3)years anywhere in the United States, OR who worked for Rent-A-Center within the last six (6) years in New York, and whom were not paid proper overtime are eligible to join the case.  For more information about Figueroa v.
