The court approved a $62,000 settlement and $20,000 in class counsel fees in an employee misclassification class action.
The plaintiff in a class action sought court approval of a settlement reached with the defendants regarding the alleged misclassification of non-managerial sales representatives as independent contractors.
The settlement, primarily funded by one defendant, aimed to compensate class members for unpaid employment benefits.
The court also considered the proposed notice plan for the settlement and class counsel's request for fees.
The corporate defendant and one individual defendant were in default.
