This page provides up-to-date information and links to important documents regarding the Conway Legal’s effort to hold Kroger accountable for failing to pay overtime compensation to E-Commerce Managers who work at the company’s “Fred Meyer,” and “Kroger” stores across the United States. The firm has filed two lawsuits and is actively investigating additional claims. Each lawsuit alleges that E-Commerce Managers–also called E-Commerce Supervisors and E-Commerce Leaders–routinely work more than 40 hours a week in order to perform their job duties but are improperly denied overtime compensation, even though they perform the same job duties as their hourly-paid colleagues. The lawsuits assert claims under federal law.
Copies of the legal paperwork describing the claims can be found below:
Each lawsuit alleges that E-Commerce Managers spend the majority of their time performing the same duties as nonexempt E-Commerce employees, including picking products off the shelf, packing orders, and delivering orders to customers. They allege that Kroger–of which Fred Meyer is a subsidiary–has a policy, pattern, and/or practice of misclassifying E-Commerce Managers as exempt from overtime. The lawsuits seek to recover all unpaid overtime owed to E-Commerce Managers who work or have worked for Fred Meyer and Kroger during the last several years. As detailed below, approximately 1,500 Assistant Store Managers have joined one or more of the lawsuits.
If you work, or worked, as an E-Commerce Manager at Fred Meyer, Kroger, or any of the other supermarket brands operated by Kroger, and would like more information about the lawsuits, please contact Conway Legal at (215) 278-4782.
