On March 16, 1993, Laurie Sievers, Roy Menges, Twila
Kelly and Allen Burgess brought this suit against
PayLess in the United States District Court for the
District of Idaho, Case No. CV 93-0089-S-HLR, alleging
that they were employed by PayLess as salaried
employees with titles such as “floor manager,” “floor
supervisor,” “senior supervisor,” “supervisor,”

stocking or other tasks in excess of forty hours per
week without being compensated overtime work.
Plaintiffs bring this action and allege that PayLess
violated the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 U.S.C. ��
201-208. Plaintiffs seek compensation for unpaid
overtime, liquidated damages, attorney fees and costs.
The class of plaintiffs in the class action consisted of 267
employees of PayLess, including petitioner, who joined on October

Petitioner was also informed that approximately 30 class members
were deposed and allegedly suffered a number of injuries during
their employment with PayLess, including emotional distress and
