Abercrombie Settles Overtime Suit With More Assistant Managers

Abercrombie & Fitch has offered to pay $96,000 to 13 assistant managers for failing to pay proper overtime wages, in connection with a lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of New York. This is in addition to prior offers from Abercrombie & Fitch to pay other assistant managers who had joined the lawsuit. Abercrombie also agreed to pay the assistant managers’ attorney's fees and court costs. The claims arose under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and asserted that Abercrombie violated the FLSA by failing to pay assistant managers all wages due for working more than 40 hours a week.
