In
Meyn, et al. v. Peet’s, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, California Store Managers allege that they had to work “off the clock” without pay and to work through their meal periods in order to meet all of the job requirements that Peet’s expected them to meet. On 4/2/10, preliminary approval of a $2.6 million settlement was granted. The final approval hearing is on 9/1/10.
Individualized notices were mailed to class members on 5/21/10.
The claims deadline for former employees is 8/4/10. Class members who were still working for Peet's as of 3/14/10 do not need to submit a claim to receive their share of the settlement.
