Genentech
On January 10, 2012, the San Mateo County Superior Court gave preliminary approval to a $2.1 million proposed class action settlement in Galu v. Genentech, Inc. Notice of the proposed settlement was mailed on February 7, 2012. The class action was filed on behalf of about 110 current and former employees of Genentech who worked as Foundation Specialists or Reimbursement Analysts in the Genentech Access to Care Foundation. The plaintiffs allege that Genentech misclassified them as exempt from overtime pay under California law, failed to pay class members required overtime pay, and failed to provide proper off-duty meal periods and related compensation and penalties.
In order to receive their share of the settlement, class members must send in a claim form by April 7, 2012. Individualized claim forms showing each class member’s estimated share were mailed with the notice on February 7, 2012, and a blank claim form can be found below.
