Judge Steven Brick’s order certified three subclasses of technical analysts, project managers and quality assurance analysts or developers for Oracle and PeopleSoft, which Oracle bought in 2005. They say Oracle violated provisions of the California Labor Code by failing to pay overtime wages and give them off-duty meal periods.

It’s the first class of Oracle employees to win certification in a coordinated proceeding, Oracle Wage and Hour Cases, JCCP004597, that includes four different suits.
