A group of attorneys is going after two Nevada employers, charging they failed to pay required overtime to workers allegedly misclassified as managers.
Lawsuits seeking class-action status were filed in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas last month and this month against AutoZone Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank.
The attorneys claim Memphis-based AutoZone failed to pay required overtime to Nevada workers classified as assistant managers and San Francisco-based Wells Fargo has failed to pay required overtime to workers classified as business banking specialists.
A request for comment was placed with AutoZone, while Wells Fargo on Wednesday disputed the claims against it.
"Wells Fargo strongly denies these allegations. We pay our team members for hours worked as required by law. Because we are just now reviewing this case, it is premature for us to comment further at this time,'' the bank said in a statement.
