Employment Class Actions

 Our approach to Employment Class Action matters is geared towards individual-specific calculations utilizing employer data both in the class certification and damages phases.  We have served as experts in numerous Employment Class Action matters involving tens of thousands of class members and billions of dollars in damages.  We have developed and implemented sophisticated hardware and database systems capable of extracting relevant employee compensation data from virtually any employer's payroll system.  Our employer data based methodology has been successfully presented both in trials and hearings.  

Oft times information provided by the employer is naturally the most uncontested.  To this end, when verifiably accurate, we strive to utilize employer-supplied data for employment Class Actions, be they FLSA, Breach of Contract or Discrimination matters.  Class member supplied surveys or questionnaires, no matter the accuracy, are subject to significant cross-examination concerning the class members' memory as well as potential bias.  Hopefully, such would not be the case with contemporaneously compiled payroll records of the employer.  Further, in certification phase, utilization of employer-provided data can go a long way toward proving commonality amongst the class members.  We have successfully extracted relevant payroll data from archaic, encrypted and corrupted files.  Such data, and our subsequent calculations, have proven invaluable to our clients in proving damages in such matters.

 We have proven time and time again, that such a methodology can be used to calculate accurate and fair damages for one to 1,000,000 class members.  In addition, because calculations are computed based upon the actual individual class members' specific employment parameters, settlement distributions are significantly simplified.  Our goal is to, as much as possible, make the question of the amount of damages a foregone conclusion.
