i just got mine right now.
its concerning breaks
and overtime pay for associates that made commission in that time periodi love it when they call me big papa -
-
I got mine in the mail. I am reading it right now. Basically its a lawsuit against Frys relating to:
(1) failure to pay overtime;
(2) failure to pay final wages;
(3) waiting time penalties;
(4) failure to provide rest periods;
(5) failure to allow meal periods;
(6) failure to furnish timely and accurate wage statements;
(7) unfair and unlawful business acts and practices.
Fry's denies that it did anything wrong. -

biggysmalls:i just got mine right now.

and overtime pay for associates that made commission in that time period
That's a good question. If one works, say, 42* hours in a week, should any commission made in those extra two hours be multiplied by 1.5?
*So long, and thanks for all the fish.
...anyone? anyone? -
Only hours can be overtime not commision.Contact Me: admin@frysforum.com [FrysForum Administration Group]
-
But... we do get overtime for that...
-
Sasquatch:Interesting, but...
If you file, does Fry's Electronics put your name in a little red book? Basically, would our illustrious employer know whether or not a certain individual participated in this suit?
If not, surely they would get ideas when you request documentation showing which weeks you've earned overtime. I doubt anyone has complete records dating back to when they were first employed. Unfortunately, said documentation is required for eligibility in the suit.
How will they calculate one's share of the booty? -

I am not participating in the settlement I am actually going to object to the settlement:
Fry's didn't pay my vacation check in a timely matter and never paid me for my personal and holiday days off. They also failed to furnish timely and accurate wage statements; and unfair and unlawful business acts and practices.
Fry's fired me for creating this website (http://www.FrysForum.com) where employees could talk about their work related conditions and grievances. We were trying to bring our work related grievances to the attention of management. Fry's found out I was the owner of the website and decided to hold me countable for the content of the site.
According to Section 230 of Title 47 of the United States Code (47 USC § 230) site owners or operators can not be held responsible for the content left by members on their site. I did not post or write the things Fry's is accusing me of doing listed on the links below. Fry's firing me was illegal and violates the National Labor Relations Act because 2 or more employees were discussing pay or other work related issues with each other and 2 or more employees are addressing their employer about improving their working conditions or pay.
I have filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board which is part of the United States Goverment http://www.NLRB.gov Fry's has not responded to my charge.
I was also denied unemployment benifits because according to the California Unemployment office I was "making disparaging remarks about your employeer" even though it wasn't me making the disparaging remarks but some users on the site. I am appealing this decision and I await my court date with the EDD.

I seriously doubt that. Most Fry's associates have no idea this exists. Add the fact that you must submit documentation proving the number of weeks you earned overtime... well, I doubt there will be many takers. -
on my paperwork it actually stated the number of weeks that i worked overtime. its a good number so i think im gonna submit my forms.

I got this today, just read some of it over now, I'd rather not reply to it.
But it kind of worries me when it says, "DO NOTHING: You WILL NOT receive a payment from the settlement and you will give up any rights to sue Fry's for released claims."
What does that exactly mean? I won't be able to sue Fry's in the future?Store 25 / San Marcos, CA / I shit trains, Now what? -

Don't be quick to decide to settle consider this
1) You Settle
After Fee's $1,778,834 will be split amongs thousands of employees which include current and former employees which means you could get as little as a couple hundread dollars or even less)
2) Do Nothing: You won't recieve any payments from the settlement and you give up your rights to sue Fry's for the release claims
3) Ask To Be Excluded: Recieve no payments from the settlement and retain all rights you may have against Fry's.
4) Submit Objection: Write to the Aribitrator about you don't agree with the settlement. The Arbitrator may or may not agree with your objection.
If you don't agree with the amount they are settling for tell them that or that you think its unfair or anything you want to say to them.
5) Go To The Hearing - If you have submitted a valid ojbection and notice of intention to appear, ask to speak before the Arbitrator about the fairness of the settlement.
I think for retaliation reasons current employees should settle but former or employees who were fired or quit should object its not much money for what Fry's is trying to settle.I belive in Justice ... I will serve it if needed -
Here at store 23, basically nobody has heard of this. The few people that have, don't really want to go through the trouble and/or risk of obtaining documentation proving the amount of overtime earned for every week since hire. I seriously doubt there will be thousands of people.

Former CSSA/Gopher here. I got the notice a few days ago and it seems like nothing more than a pittance. To even work for the store you have to sign the arbitration contract, they don't put a gun to your head but they won't let you work/pay you if you don't sign. I'm very tempted to go to a hearing over this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bitter former employee looking for a dollar or two but Fry's has to answer for the way they've treated us. -

This is from my point of view remember that.
What I recall is that we were about to get let out (closing) we were clocked out pretty much, the door open, then the A/V DM says everyone needs to go help do something (I think for his department), then he pretty much re-closes the doors on us. That's when that associate says we don't have to work once clocked out (kind if to himself and anyone around him, I was near him). I think he kind of says more out loud that "I'll call the cops for holding us here against our will." Something like that. I think i might of said, "Do it!" Not fully sure, I believe I did. After he did and I think the A/V DM heard he did, we shortly were let out.
The associate was around for a few months after wards, not sure if he got fired or quit. He kind of wondered if he was going to get fired for it.
That's about all I can recall. This did happen probably nearly 2 years ago? Back when we had to do the "Perfect Close".Store 25 / San Marcos, CA / I shit trains, Now what? -

The whole situation didn't make sense to me cause I took illegal breaks all the time. You are stupid to follow the rules. You are also stupid if you get fired for it -
They're making us follow federal law instead of state law, here in Texas. Lame.
-
Sasquatch: They're making us follow federal law instead of state law, here in Texas. Lame.
They try to say that since Federal overrides State law that they only have to follow Federal law which is Constitutionally-speaking incorrect. Nothing in the Constitution stipulates work laws and regulations and it is stating in the Constitution that anything that is not expressed within that the States have the reserved power to speak on those matters..
They need to re-read Amendment 10
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791.

At my store, the only part about this settlement that is true was "The Wage and Hour Sub-class. We got our meal breaks but my paycheck was always wrong and audit never answered their door. Most of the time it was not enough but a few times I received over-payment. I quit after a memory was returned two months after it was sold and it clearly said in red ink on the back of the receipt that fifteen (15) days return policy. I lost a quarter commission that day but it was the principle of the thing. A quarter today, five bucks tomorrow. I could write a book with all the stories that I could tell but this forum only pertains to the lawsuit so I will keep it at that. Or course, I since moved from California to Virginia and I received my form October 3rd and it needs to be in the mail by Oct 9th. Glad I got it in time. I don't remember signing a document but I heard that each employee signed a waver that says no employees can carry out a lawsuit against Frys. I guess if it were true, someone broke the rule and I am glad I they did. It is a shame it is at this time in history. The way the economy is right now, they may not be able to afford it. Lets just say that $25 Emprex DVD burner will suddenly jump up to $50. Especially since California is broke and begging for money at the doorstep of Washington. -

Nevertheless, even though I am sure that half a dozen of those propping social security "undocumented workers", I just can not afford to have one more put my name to shame. But, I am going to go for it. Even if it is seventy five bucks, at least it is a tank of gas that will take me to work where I can work to make even more. But, we are leaning away from the main issue so I am willing to lay down my sword on the subject. -

I just received my paperwork in the mail yesterday. I worked for the Fry's store located in Woodland Hills back in 2005. What struck me as strange is how the claims administrator tracked me down. I've lived in 3 different places since I left Fry's. Now I'm back here in Atlanta and they found me here! That's what made me think this was some sort of scam to get my social security number. But my girlfriend said I should check the internet and that's how I found this website. So I'm not being scammed but I gotta say, I'm dubious that this lawsuit will result in any kind of big windfall for the participants. But since I'm not alone in this, I just might submit the paperwork after all. I hated working for Fry's and I hated the way they treated the workers who were so obviously terrified of getting fired. We were forced to work overtime, forced to push the sales of certain products, forced to get customers to apply for credit with the constant threat of being fired or made to work late until we landed a credit application. It was insane sitting in on the morning "pep talks" where we were all but ordered to scam the customers into buying the more expensive items. I ended up leaving the company after a car accident on my way to work. The accident happened right in front of the store. I called my supervisor to let them know that I wouldn't be in because I just totaled my car and was on the way to the hospital. When the doctor gave me pain killers and put me on bed rest for a week, Fry's had the gall to ask me to come back to work two days later and if I didn't show up, they'd have to let me go. I didn't show up, of course and was subsequently fired.
I did manage to file an unemployment claim and collect on it although Fry's tried to fight it. Fortunately I had the doctor's paperwork to back up my story.
So, anyway, now that I know this settlement thing is for real, I'm gonna submit my papers and see how much money I can get.
One thing worries me....I'm wary of submitting my social security number. Anyone else conerned about that?

I worked for Fry's in 2005 in the Fountain Valley store. That was a treat. I moved from California to Virginia in June of 2008. I am a little surprised myself. I did file for a change of address with the post office but I thought that was discreet. Also, I did call and ask about a stock certificate that I found during the move and wondered if it was still valid and how I can transfer it to my current portfolio. I don't remember if I gave my new address or not. Perhaps I did. Anyways, I may seek further information not related to Fry's or the Claims Administrator. Question is, where can I get that information and still have the form in the mail by Monday the 6th of October. I know it does not have to be in until Thursday the 9th of October but those who wait until the last minute take the biggest risk. Like I said before, I am sure half a dozen people have it already. It's the American way I guess. By the way, I think we are all worried about our SSN but the more people worry about it, the more say they will not participate, the more for those who do participate. One thing is for sure, either the participants will be the winners for gaining a small fortune from a multi million dollar business or the ones who think this is too good to be true as well as Fry's Incorporated will be the winners. Either way, the winner will be reviled within a year. -

I used to attend a school where your student number was your social. Dumb.
