Executive summary - managers told branch employees not to log all the hours worked.
The employees sued and won.
If the bank is making you work time but not log time worked, it is time you talk to a labor attorney.
FROM THE DOCKET:
Wells Fargo’s timekeeping policy requires all hourly employees, including HMCs, to
report “all hours worked,” including overtime. These hours must be recorded in “Time Tracker,” the Bank’s online timekeeping system in which team members record the start and stop time for each period of work on an electronic timesheet. Team members are “responsible for submitting timely and accurate reports in Time Tracker of the hours [they] worked. This includes any time spent on electronic devices for business purposes. The seven Plaintiffs in this case worked in five Bank branches: two in New Jersey, two in Pennsylvania, and one branch in Virginia.
Plaintiffs claim that Wells Fargo maintained a common practice and policy of requiring
Plaintiffs and other HMCs to work off the clock, as follows. Opt-in Plaintiff William Hutchinson, who worked in Wells Fargo’s Princeton, New Jersey office, declared, “I was instructed by management [to] not report overtime. I know that other HMCs, including [lists 23 names] received the same instructions from management. I, along with other HMCs, including [lists names], were
told not to record hours that went into overtime for training, corporate calls, rallies, or for our sales meetings.” (ECF No. 77-2). Hutchinson further testified, “The other problem with the [Time Tracker] system was no matter [what]– most loan officers work 60 hours plus. The system would cut off at a certain number, so you couldn’t even put in the honest hours. . . . [Y]ou could not
physically put in the hours. The system would cut us off.”
