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? -
$3,140,000

- ADMINISTRATION FEES

I just noticed it says on the form that after all the fees for lawyers etc the remaining balance will be $1,778,834 which in my opinion is not very much.Contact Me: admin@frysforum.com [FrysForum Administration Group] -
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.

That divided by about 300 people is six grand a person. I doubt it works that way, but still. -
Sorry Sasquatch the number of people will be more like 5000 in my opinion.

First off, your first 3 PDF links dont work admin
.
Secondly, so you have to appeal to get any comphensation if you qualify? -
I fixed the broken links thanks for letting me know.
I am going to appeal this class action settlement because I have other plans which I can't really discuss.aka Luis - FrysForum Administration Group -
admin:Sorry Sasquatch the number of people will be more like 5000 in my opinion.

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?I shit trains, Now what? -
Not for that, anyway.
-
I wouldnt do that either, with something as controversial as break periods as an attack. Break periods arent legally decreed here in Arizona, at least.
He should sue my ex boss instead.Superhero! -
The link explaining the case dose not work...help...

for the lawsuit if you think about it, frys is already loosing that money no matter what. so if an employee collects its not like ther gonna loose any more money then thry already losti love it when they call me big papa -
-
None of us know if that's how it really works.

Many associates where talking about this today. How am I going to profit from all this with everyone staking their claim?i am a worm.

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.
-
When you get your claim form it is pre filled with "the following number of full time work weeks in which you were paid commisions and earned overtimed pay between March 29, 2002 and July 31, 2007." Mine said 30 weeks, it was pre-filled in. You gota remember this settlement is for 5 years and it includes past and current employees I also agree the amount of people would be over 1000 people.Contact Me: admin@frysforum.com [FrysForum Administration Group]

Your correct worm to add its only for employees of California, that might reduce the amount of people who will participate.Contact Me: admin@frysforum.com [FrysForum Administration Group]

We hear you Sasquatch your voice is heard. If you wish to take action you can sue Fry's in your locality and take advantage of at least $7,500 for being a primary participant. We can probably pull a lawsuit in every state.i am a worm. -

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. -

Hey Randy Fry, I'd love some free money. The lease on this cave is insane.

Well, it's not really free. You worked for it.
Take those assholes to the cleaners, I'd love to see Randy Fry living under a highway cloverleaf sucking dick for beer money. -
