Alderwoods Class Action Lawsuit
www.alderwoodsclassaction.com

This lawsuit was filed against Alderwoods Group, Inc. on behalf of funeral directors and employees who were paid on an hourly basis, for failing to pay all wages and overtime owed its employees. Our investigation into the compensation practices at Alderwoods revealed many practices that we believe violate federal and state wage and overtime laws. Some examples are:

  • permitting employees to be on call, but not paying for all work while on call;
  • permitting employees to train for job-related-activities (insurance, licensure requirements, etc.) without properly compensating employees for such activities;
  • not paying for lunches during which employees performed some work; and
  • discouraging employees from putting all their hours down on a timesheet.
