On May 30, 2007, named Plaintiffs Kristina Jones and Kimberly Marrs filed a lawsuit against Defendant Casey's General Stores ("CGS") seeking to recover unpaid overtime on behalf of all CGS Assistant Managers who worked in excess of 40 hours per week. The lawsuit charges that CGS violated federal law by deliberately failing to keep accurate time records and failing to pay overtime wages as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA").

Plaintiffs allege that this lawsuit applies to thousands of assistant managers employed by CGS across the United States. Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and all other current and former employees who were designated, paid or employed as Assistant Managers in the United States from My 30, 2004 to the present.

Under the FLSA, employees are entitled to time-and-a-half pay for each hour over 40 hours worked in a workweek, unless they are exempt from the Act. The FLSA also requires employers to maintain accurate records of hours actually worked by its employees.

In this case, Plaintiffs allege that CGS used a "schedule-based" time keeping system that did not account for all hours worked by assistant managers. Plaintiffs allege that they and other similarly-situated assistant managers worked unpaid overtime off-the-clock for CGS performing a variety of duties.

"We wanted to file this lawsuit now to ensure that the thousands of CGS Assistant Managers we believe worked extensive overtime receive fair compensation for the all the long weeks they worked 50, 60 and sometimes 70 hours", stated Scott Peters, one of the attorneys for the Plaintiffs.

If you are currently employed, or have been employed in the past three years, by CGS as an Assistant Manager, and would like more information concerning your legal rights, please feel free to contact:
