Hershey Overtime

On April 7, 2008, a complaint against The Hershey Company, was filed for violating the overtime and wage legal rights of its nationwide sales force since 2004. The Brandi Law Firm, in conjunction with Colorado attorney David Feola, brought suit on behalf of three former Hershey sales representatives, seeking certification of a class of present and former Hershey sales representatives for violations of both the California and federal overtime and wage laws. The lawsuit contends that Hershey changed the sales representative duties around the country in 2004 by removing their sales functions and requiring them to stock shelves, arrange displays, and serve as merchandisers while continuing to classify then as sales representatives to avoid paying required overtime. Merchandisers are not exempt from being paid overtime.
