HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — Sears is an American multinational department store chain. It was founded in 1893 as a mail order catalog. In 1925, the company began operating local department stores. There are over 2,200 locations in North America. Sears is headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
Sears employees are often required to work double shifts and work additional time before and after their scheduled shift. With the exception of some upper management positions, the employer must pay overtime to workers who work more than forty hours per week. Employers often deny or unlawfully refuse to pay overtime by misclassifying the positions of the workers, requiring them to report to work early but not “punch the clock” until later, striking hours off time cards, or not paying them for work before the shift starts and after the employee punches out for the day. These are violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and can give rise to an overtime pay lawsuit.
