HERTZ AIRPORT MANAGER CLASS OVERTIME WAGE CASE
Fair Labor Standards Act nationwide collective action lawsuit: Operation Managers, Assistant Managers seeking overtime wages
Retherford v. Hertz Corp: The pending US CouRt Lawsuit
What is the Case About?
Brandy Retherford, a former Airport Operations Manager, has filed this lawsuit individually and on behalf of all other present and former HERTZ Operations Managers and Assistant Managers working at Airport locations and other satellite offices in the U.S. and its territories from 2021 to the present day. The Collective Action overtime wage case is pending in the US. District Court, Middle District of Florida, case no 2:23-cv-0719. She is now joined by 6 other present and former Managers in this case who have elected to join and assert their claims.
The case alleges HERTZ has willfully violated the Federal Overtime Wage Laws of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), by misclassifying these positions as exempt from the required overtime pay (premiums) Hertz was required to pay MANAGERS for all hours worked over 40 in each and every workweek.
Retherford alleges she was required to work more than 40 hours routinely to complete the job duties, which were mainly routine, standardized, customer services and other hands on laborious duties and other traditional non-exempt job duties.
Retherford alleges that the she did not have a true role of directing the work of 2 or more other full time employees since she could not discipline nor performed formal annual job reviews, or make decisions on hiring and firing employees in any subordinate positions.
Hertz may have changed the job title from the previous Function and Location Manager positions, which was the subject a prior, nationwide FLSA collective action lawsuit that was settled in 2021. BAMIDELE AIYEKUSIBE v. HERTZ CORP, Case 2:18-CV-00816-UA-MRM (Settled in Bankruptcy proceeding $4,250,000.00 for all similarly situated Location Managers and Function Managers).
Retherford alleges that Hertz has engaged in a continued scheme to avoid paying its manager employees overtime wages that it knew or should have known were to be paid to these class of workers, but instead has made the decision to increase profits by taking the risks that no one would complain or challenge their alleged here, unlawful pay practice.
Retherford seeks to recover overtime wages for all present and former Operations Managers and Assistant Managers working at Hertz Airport locations and other offices who worked for HERTZ and all its brands from June 10, 2021 to the present day, plus an equal sum as liquidated damages.
As the case also presents, Hertz, the employer has the burden to prove Retherford and all others similarly situated are not entitled to these overtime wages, and that the case alleges that Hertz Corp cannot satisfy these burdens and that the position should be declared non-exempt from overtime wages under the FLSA and all back wages paid.
