Two former Hilo Wal-Mart employees file suit against company Posted: November 2, 2005 05:25 PM
Two former Hilo Wal-Mart employees have filed a class action lawsuit against all Hawaii Wal-Marts, alleging the company shaved time from its employees time cards from 1997 to 2004.
The lawsuit states there is a videotaped admission of a Wal-Mart executive and Wal-Mart memoranda, showing that Wal-Mart deleted thousands of hours of time worked from employees' payroll records, resulting in millions of dollars of labor savings.
"They've been doing this across the country from what we understand. There have been other suits filed in other jurisdictions," says Arthur Park, plaintiff's attorney.
"The beneficiaries would be all the employees who would be entitled to get their pro-rated share of whatever the damages were that were proved," says Wayne Parsons, plaintiff's attorney.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs say once they obtain records, they'll be able to determine how much money may've been involved.
An attorney for Wal-Mart says the company hasn't seen the lawsuit and therefore can not comment.
