Amazon.com has received some early coal in its stocking: a potential class action claiming unpaid overtime. In a federal lawsuit filed last week, the online retail giant is being sued for allegedly rounding off the hours worked by 21,000 warehouse employees who fill orders and ship packages, costing the employees about 15 minutes of overtime pay each day. Although other companies' rounding-off policies have faced challenges, an attorney in the Amazon case called the extent of alleged rounding-off "very unusual."
