Zumiez settles class-action suit

New York City Zumiez said it settled a California class action regarding overtime pay and meal breaks for $1.3 million.

Zumiez said a former employee alleged that the company didn’t pay all overtime owed to the worker, didn’t provide meal breaks as provided by California law, didn’t provide employees with proper itemized pay stubs, and didn’t pay fired employees their waiting time penalties as required by California law.

The class-action suit covers Zumiez employees, except store managers, who worked in California from March 5, 2004 to Sept. 13, 2009.
