If you were an Assistant Manager or Assistant General Manager working for Charter Foods, Inc., Charter Central, LLC or Charter Foods North, LLC (“Charter Foods”) between July 21, 2017 and January 1, 2020, you may be entitled to a payment from a class action lawsuit settlement.

The Named Plaintiffs alleged that Charter Foods violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act, and the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law by failing to pay its Pennsylvania Assistant Managers overtime for all hours worked over forty (40) in a single workweek because it misclassified them as exempt and ineligible to receive overtime. Charter Foods denies all the claims asserted in the Complaint and maintains that all of their respective employees were paid, and have always been paid, correctly and in accordance with the law.

The Notice is directed to members of the Settlement Class, meaning those exempt-classified Assistant Managers employed by Charter Foods between July 21, 2017 and January 1, 2020 (when the Assistant Manager position was reclassified as non-exempt) who either worked in Pennsylvania or filed a consent to join form opting into the collective action certified in this case and who have not released their claims under the settlement of an earlier, separate case styled Gallagher, et al. v. Charter Foods, Inc, et al., No. 2:20-cv-00049 RJC (W.D. Pa.). The Notice explains the lawsuit, the settlement, and your rights and options.
