Class Certification Denied for FedEx Employees’ Wage-and-Hour Claims

On Monday a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit affirmed a ruling by a Miami federal district judge that denied class certification to FedEx hourly employees in Florida. In their wage-and-hour class action complaint, the plaintiffs had alleged that FedEx paid them only for their scheduled work time, not for the full time period between when they punched in and out on a manual clock. They also alleged that FedEx did not pay them for breaks, as required by state law.
