Inventory Counting Employees Sue WIS Over Labor Law Violations

Following a substantial settlement on behalf of WIS's California employees, Lear Werts LLP and our co-counsel Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP are now pursuing a nationwide case against WIS Holdings Corporation a/k/a WIS International and Washington Inventory Service, INC. ("WIS") alleging that employees did not receive overtime pay as required by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA").

The case is "Joseph Berte, et al., v. WIS Holdings Corporation, a/k/a WIS International, and Washington Inventory Service, Inc.," Case No. 3:07-cv-1932 filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

WIS provides inventory counting services to retail companies throughout the United States. The complaint alleges that WIS fails to pay its Inventory Associates ("IAs") earned compensation, including overtime, and fails to keep accurate time records in order to save payroll costs. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that WIS systematically underpays IAs because the company fails to record all time worked, including travel time. Plaintiffs believe that WIS failed to pay employees their earned wages and overtime compensation violates the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA").
