Class and Collective Actions

Employee misclassification claims are often brought as class action lawsuits due to the collective nature of the grievances involved. Often, when one employee is misclassified, it is not an isolated incident — entire groups of workers may be affected under similar circumstances. This systematic misclassification can result from an employer’s policies or practices that incorrectly categorize many employees to avoid paying proper wages, taxes, and benefits.

Class action lawsuits can serve as a powerful tool to prompt systemic change within a company, compelling employers to reevaluate and rectify their classification practices for all affected employees. By addressing such issues on a larger scale, class action suits help the individuals involved recover lost wages and benefits, in addition to setting a precedent to deter future misclassification.

Many individuals affected by misclassification might find the prospect of legal action daunting due to resource constraints. Class action lawsuits allow groups of similarly affected workers to pool resources and assert their rights collectively. This approach not only amplifies workers’ voices but also enhances the efficiency and impact of legal proceedings against employers who violate labor laws.

Class actions can address a wide range of employment law violations affecting large groups, from unpaid overtime and denied breaks to wrongful employment status designation. By standing together, workers can achieve outcomes that might be unreachable on an individual basis.
