Two American International Group adjusters in New Jersey have brought a prospective class-action against their employer, alleging the insurer illegally denied overtime pay to hundreds of non-supervisory workers.
Filed last week in the U.S. District Court in Camden, N.J., the suit charges that the insurer intentionally misclassified hundreds of employees who perform “basic clerical tasks” as qualifying for the federal overtime exemption that applies to executive, administrative or professional employees.
The action, brought under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, was announced by Philadelphia attorney David J. Cohen, who represents Sandy Dorofy and Angela Bonnett–two adjusters in AIG's Mt. Laurel, N.J. office.
