Bank of America Wage and Hour Litigation

Welcome to the Bank of America Wage and Hour Settlement Website.

In Re Bank of America Wage and Hour Employment Practices Litigation
U.S. District Court, District of Kansas, Case No. 10-md-2138-JWL-KGS

In February 2009, a lawsuit was filed in federal court in Kansas alleging that non-exempt (hourly) employees working in Bank of America retail banking centers were denied certain wages owed to them. In October 2009, another lawsuit was filed in federal court in Kansas alleging that non-exempt (hourly) employees working in certain positions in certain Bank of America call centers were also denied certain wages owed to them.

In 2010, these lawsuits, along with several others that had been filed around the country, were joined together. The Consolidated Complaint in the lawsuit contends that Bank of America violated various state and federal wage and hour laws with respect to banking center and call center employees, including laws regarding straight-time and overtime compensation, meal and rest breaks, and vacation.

Those eligible to participate in the Settlement include:

Individuals who worked for the Bank in a banking center in California on or after February 13, 2005 and individuals who worked for the Bank in certain positions in certain call centers in California on or after February 13, 2005, or
