Important Notice, Please read carefully:
Regarding
Department of Labor Settlement Letter
and Check:
We have learned
that Teleperformance reached a
settlement with the Department of Labor.
Please be advised that this is NOT a
settlement of this lawsuit; however, if
you accept the Dept. of Labor settlement
(by signing a release, or cashing their
check) you could be barred from
participating in the FLSA portion of the
lawsuit (which covers unpaid overtime).
For those who have
joined the lawsuit by filing a consent
form, it is our advice that you do not
sign anything or cash the settlement
check without talking to us first.
For anyone who has
not yet joined the lawsuit, but would
like more information about how the
Department of Labor settlement could
affect your right to join the lawsuit,
feel free to send us an e-mail or give
us a call. You can reach at:

A group of
Former and Current Employees of Teleperformance (including CallTech Communications) have filed
a collective/class action lawsuit1.
Plaintiffs brought this lawsuit because they
believe and allege that Teleperformance has
systematically failed to pay proper wages and
overtime to its employees. This lawsuit is
currently pending in the United States District
Court for the Central District of Utah (Case
Number 2:08-cv-395).
The
Court has not established any liability on the
part of Teleperformance. Teleperformance has not
yet answered the complaint of Plaintiffs, but
will likely deny the allegations in Plaintiffs’
Complaint and its liability in this matter.
This Website tells you how to participate in
this lawsuit if you so desire, and provides
important information about this case.
A
number of Teleperformance employees have already
signed up for this case. If you are a current or
former employee of Teleperformance or CallTech
Communications, who is currently employed or was
employed as a Customer Service Representative
(CSR), or in any similar position even if it had
a different title in the past three years, you
may be entitled to
join in this lawsuit, and if
the case is successful, you might be able to
recover lost wages or overtime alleged in this
lawsuit.
WHAT
MUST YOU DO TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS LAWSUIT
If
you would like to
join this lawsuit against
Teleperformance for recovery of alleged lost
wages and/or overtime to which you may be
entitled by law, you must file a
Consent to Join
form. Please read this
important information first before
completing the Consent Form.
Click here to learn if you meet the criteria for
joining this lawsuit.
If
you believe you are eligible to participate in
this lawsuit and you would like to join this
lawsuit, you can join the lawsuit by filing the
consent form.
We
will file your Consent Form with the Court. The
Court will determine whether your claim has
validity. If you would like, you can call us at
801-269-9541 to discuss your personal situation.
Please note that you are under no obligation to
join in this lawsuit. You are free to
initiate your own legal action, if you choose to
do so. And of course, you are always free to consult with
another attorney of your choice.
If
the Court in this case determines that
Teleperformance (including CallTech
Communications) has failed to pay you wages
and/or overtime due for your hours worked, the
Court or a jury will then decide how much money
Teleperformance might owe you.
YOU
MUST ACT QUICKLY
Under FLSA (which governs payment of overtime
wages), there is a two- or three-year statute of
limitations. This means that a court will allow
you to recover unpaid wages or overtime only
going back two (2) or three (3) years from the
date on which you file your
Consent To Join
form and become a "Party Plaintiff."
Because of this limited time frame, for every
day that you delay either taking legal action on
your own or joining this lawsuit, you may lose
one day of recovery, and your ability to recover
lost wages or lost overtime may be reduced by
one day. Therefore, you should not delay in
either taking legal action on your own with an
attorney of your own choosing or by
joining in this lawsuit.
If you choose to join in this lawsuit, you
should fill out the
Consent To Join
and mail to us without delay.
TELEPERFORMANCE CANNOT RETALIATE AGAINST YOU FOR JOINING THE
LAWSUIT
If you participate in this
lawsuit, you are protected by federal law
against any type of retaliation by your
employer.

NOTE 1:
Under Section 216(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act a
lawsuit for unpaid wages or overtime compensation is called
a "collective action" which is similar to but not identical
to a "class action" under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. One of the important differences
between these two types of cases is that only people who
actually opt in to a Fair Labor Standards Act collective
action (file a Consent to Become a Party Plaintiff Form) are
affected by any settlement and/or judgment/decisions in the
lawsuit.
Although Plaintiffs have filed this action as a collective action, the Court has not certified this lawsuit as a collective
action or a class action as of this time.
NOTE 2:
This
website is maintained by the attorneys representing the
Plaintiffs in this case. The plaintiffs are current
and former employees of Teleperformance who have filed a
consent to join this lawsuit. Although the
attorneys are sometimes referred to as "class counsel," this
lawsuit has not been certified as a collective or class
action by the Court as of this time.
