Facts
Paris Shoots filed a wage and hour class action lawsuit against iQor.
Contentions
PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS: Plaintiffs claimed that iQor failed to pay its call center agents for breaks. Specifically, plaintiffs claimed that iQor's time keeping system TimeQey was misleading because it automatically considered all periods of computer inactivity to be idle time. However, plaintiffs claimed, idle time included time employees spent performing compensable work, such as when they were in meetings, helping co-workers, took rest breaks, or waited for incoming calls.
DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: Defendant denied the contentions.
Result
The parties reached an agreement to settle the claim for $8.75 million.
