Jack Siegel and his overtime law firm have represented thousands of employees against employers in overtime misclassification lawsuits. These lawsuits typically involve employers who misclassify employees as exempt under an overtime exemption and deprive them of overtime by illegally paying them a salary with no overtime for working over 40 hours per week.
The Siegel Law Group’s overtime attorneys have also represented thousands of other clients in cases involving independent contractor misclassification and off-the-clock overtime violations. In fact, Mr. Siegel Mr. Siegel proudly represented his mother and 15,000 customer service agents in an unpaid overtime action against CVS health. He filed the suit after CVS terminated his mom from her customer service position after 18 years of hard work. Following her termination, he discovered that CVS had not paid its customer service representatives for pre-shift work at call centers across the country. As a result, he filed a class and collective wage action lawsuit that led to one of the top ten wage and hour settlements in the country for 2019.
