PENNSYLVANIA & NEW YORK EMPLOYEE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

Employees Subjected to Off-the-Clock Security Searches & Missed Breaks

On October 17, 2007, Kenney Egan McCafferty & Young, P.C. ("KEMY") filed a lawsuit on behalf of a class of current and former Best Buy employees alleging violations of Pennsylvania state labor laws. The lawsuit contends that Pennsylvania employees at 25 Pennsylvania Bets Buy stores are subjected to off-the-clock security checks at the end of each shift - time which employees are not paid for on a daily basis. The pending lawsuit also accuses the Richfield, Minnesota-based company of forcing employees to work through meal and rest breaks without compensation.

KEMY commenced the wage and hour lawsuit on behalf of Jason Hall and other similarly situated current and former Best Buy employees who were and are denied pay, including overtime, for required time spent waiting in line and undergoing searches at designated security checkpoints. The complaint alleges that employees who work the closing shift are subjected to the longest waits since store policy dictates that all employees gather at the front of the store before beginning security checks.

The suit also maintains that employees are routinely required to work during paid meal and/or rest breaks.

If you or someone you know has worked for Best Buy at any time in the past 3 years, please contact Eric L. Young, Esquire at Kenney Egan McCafferty & Young at 610-940-9099 for more information about your legal rights.
