Case Details for "PetSmart"

PetSmart settles employment class action for $1.45M

More than 4,000 employees of PetSmart  stores in California who were not getting lunch periods and rest breaks have settled a class-action lawsuit, with the company agreeing to pay $1.45 million, including fees for the employees' lawyers and other costs.

A total of 4,442 qualifying class members from the state's 115 stores will share $747,000 for breaks they didn't get between Oct. 3, 2002 and Aug. 5.

A typical groomer will receive about $335 for each year of employment, while a non-groomer gets approximately $65 for each year. Groomers will get a larger share because violations of their rights to lunch and rest breaks were more prevalent than among non-groomers
