U.S. District Judge James Mahan granted certification of a nationwide class of non-exempt employees working at Boyd Gaming Corp.’s 22 properties. The six named plaintiffs, current and former bartenders and servers, allege improper time-rounding practices, uncompensated off the clock work, and unpaid overtime under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) for themselves and all others similarly situated. The complaint alleges that Boyd’s time rounding practices “enrich Boyd to it’s employees’ detriment” and result in up to 14 or more minutes lost per shift. The complaint further alleges that class members worked 30 to 45 minutes off the clock each shift. The Court found that the evidence presented demonstrated a companywide policy, and ordered Boyd to produce the contact information of all potential class members (estimated at 20,000 current and former employees).
