HAGENS BERMAN

Hagens Berman is investigating claims of unpaid overtime by H&R Block employees in Illinois and Arizona.

If proven true, H&R Block would be in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which governs workplace labor rules and makes unpaid overtime illegal for non-exempt employees.

A U.S. district court recently approved a class-action lawsuit that claims H&R Block asked its California employees to work overtime but refused to pay them for the work.

The case alleges that H&R Block gave office leaders and branch managers bonuses for keeping payroll costs down, even as workers were required to stay late to complete tax returns during tax season. It also alleges that managers removed hours from timesheets or directed employees not to document the extra time worked.

Hagens Berman is interested in talking to current and former H&R Block employees in Illinois and Arizona who worked more than eight hours in a day or more than 40 hours in a week and who were not fully paid for time worked.
