Filed: January 10, 2018 ◆§ 4:18-cv-00221
Two operating companies of Neiman Marcus are the defendants in a proposed class action filed by two former employees who worked as sales associates for the luxury retailer.
California
Two operating companies of Neiman Marcus are the defendants in a proposed class action filed by two former employees who worked as sales associates for the luxury retailer. The plaintiffs take issue with the defendants’ pay practices, claiming they were paid only by commission but were required to spend a significant portion of each shift performing activities for which they could not earn sales. In particular, the complaint alleges that employees regularly worked outside of store hours or in the backroom at the beginning of each shift performing administrative work, handling logistical matters, and cleaning. The plaintiffs argue that these activities added up to hours each week for which they were unable to earn wages in violation of California state laws.
The suit was originally filed December 5, 2017 in the Superior Court of California but has since been removed to federal court.
