Two former Williams-Sonoma employees claim in a proposed class and collective action that they were not paid for their last week of work at the home retailer’s Olive Branch, Mississippi distribution center.

The 11-page lawsuit alleges defendants Williams-Sonoma, Inc. and Williams-Sonoma Direct, Inc. have failed to pay roughly 100 hourly employees in Mississippi their promised wages for every hour worked.

Per the case, the defendants have violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act by failing to pay workers at least the minimum wage.

The two plaintiffs claim to have worked at Williams-Sonoma’s Olive Branch facility as a selector and seasonal merchandise processor, respectively. According to the suit, the plaintiffs were never paid for their last week of work, which took place December 12 to 15, 2021.

The lawsuit alleges that other Williams-Sonoma employees were also not paid by their scheduled pay days for their last week of work and are owed at least the minimum wage for those hours.

The plaintiffs look to represent a collective of current and former hourly employees who worked for Williams-Sonoma in Mississippi between January 28, 2019 and the date of final judgment in this matter and were not paid their wages on their scheduled pay date.

The case also proposes to cover a class of hourly employees who worked for Williams-Sonoma in Mississippi at any time within the last three years and until the date of final judgment in this matter and were not paid their promised wages for every hour worked.
