A Florida judge has ordered Lowe’s Home Centers Inc. to pay $4.6 million to human resources employees and their attorneys in a nationwide class-action lawsuit.
The Lowe’s human resources employees had sued the home improvement retailer in 2012, claiming that Lowe’s did not pay them for overtime work, according to an article from The National Law Journal.
Federal Judge Virginia Hernandez Covington ordered Lowe’s to pay the human resources workers about $3.3 million, or approximately $4,000 to each of the 891 employees included in the lawsuit, the article says. This month, the judge ordered Lowe’s to pay an additional $1.3 million for the workers’ attorneys’ fees.
