Collective Win for Sales Employees and Lebau & Neuworth, LLC

Lebau & Neuworth represents a group of employees who worked as commissioned furniture sales associates at their employer’s various furniture stores located throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The workers are alleging that they and others similarly situated to them were not paid overtime wages when they worked more than forty (40) hours in a workweek, and/or they were not paid at least the required minimum wage for all hours worked. The case is called Amrhein et al. v. Regency Management Services et al., Case No. 13-01114-SKG, pending in the Maryland federal court, and includes furniture store franchises such as Ashley Furniture and Marlo Furniture. Lebau & Neuworth successfully fought for and obtained court approval to treat this case as a collective action (a type of class action) for a class of current and former commissioned furniture sales associates. This means that written notices will be sent to all employees who have worked at the Defendants’ furniture stores at any time since April 15, 2010 to the present. Those employees will then have the chance to elect to join-in the case. The claims are asserted under the Fair Labor Standards Act for overtime wages and double damages. Our clients are pleased, as are we, that the court has allowed this case to proceed and to benefit other workers. If you think you and/or your co-workers have been improperly paid, the attorneys at Lebau & Neuworth, LLC, may be able to help.
