Case Details for "Indiana"

Indiana must pay $42.4 million for 20 years of back pay

A judge ruled Tuesday that the state of Indiana owes thousands of current and former employees a total of $42.4 million for 20 years of back pay.

The judgment was based on estimates that up to 15,000 state employees worked 40-hour weeks from 1973 to 1993 but received the same pay as others in similar jobs who worked only 37.5 hours.

The state announced a settlement in the 16-year-old class-action lawsuit last year. But the state pulled out after compensation claims by former workers surpassed the settlement's $8.5 million limit. A trial was held in March. The state ended the former pay system in 1993 when it mandated 37.5-hour work weeks for all employees.
