FedEx drivers are entitled to overtime pay and other benefits according to a recent federal court lawsuit decision. The judge in that case determined that Federal Express misclassified thousands of ground drivers as independent contractors when they should have been treated as company employees. By classifying the drivers as independent contractors, FedEx has avoided paying legally required benefits like health insurance, worker’s compensation, and other fringe benefits.
The judge in the FedEx class action lawsuit determined that the ground drivers are actually employees of the company. As a result, thousands of drivers and package delivery men and women are owed back overtime pay and other important work benefits. Overtime pay lawsuits are being filed to recover these lost wages and benefits for the drivers.
If you are currently or were a FedEx driver and did not receive overtime pay or other benefits because you were misclassified as an independent contractor, you may be able to file a lawsuit to collect back all owed wages. You may be owed substantial money.
