After reaching a $65 million settlement in November 2006 with a group of IT workers who claimed they didn’t receive overtime pay, IBM Corp. is in the hot seat again facing similar allegations. But this time it’s the company’s salesmen crying foul.
On Feb. 6, Marc Barowsky, a former IBM salesman, filed suit against Big Blue alleging the computer giant failed to pay him and other sales employees for time they worked off the clock. Filed under the FLSA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Massachusetts, the claim seeks to recover unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages and statutory penalties.
