Fuller et al v. Zep Inc. et al
Filed: May 7, 2018 ◆§ 3:18cv2672
A proposed class action has been filed against ZEP, Inc. claiming that it denied rightful wages under state and federal law.
A proposed class action has been filed against ZEP, Inc., a chemical company, and Acuity Specialty Products, Inc., an industrial cleaning supply company, alleging the defendants broke their contracts with outside salespersons by “taking accounts and commissions” and thereby denying rightful wages under state and federal law. According to the suit, the defendants contractually agreed that they would not “retroactively take accounts which [the plaintiffs] had obtained.” Nevertheless, the companies reportedly established a new policy effective April 1, 2018 by which they would begin "unilaterally and surreptitiously taking accounts/commissions obtained by their outside salespersons.”
The case argues that as a result, the plaintiffs were robbed of the compensation they should have received pursuant to their contracts.
