CVS agreed to pay over $745,000 as part of a settlement to resolve claims it failed to adjust rates of pay for sick pay when California workers received additional forms of compensation during their pay period.
The settlement benefits individuals who worked as a non-exempt employee at a CVS store in California between Sept. 17, 2019, and July 24, 2022, and who received sick pay and additional compensation in the same pay period but did not have their regular rate of pay adjusted for sick pay.
The wage-an-hour class action lawsuit claims CVS violated California law by failing to account for additional forms of compensation when calculating sick pay rates of pay during certain pay periods. As a result, some California employees allegedly received less in sick pay than they were owed.
CVS is a national pharmacy with locations around the country, including many in California.
CVS hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $745,687.50 settlement to resolve the sick pay class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the number of eligible pay periods they worked during the pay period.
Class members received a notice indicating the number of pay periods allocated to them by the settlement administrator and an estimated payment amount. Some class members can receive an additional payment from the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) portion of the settlement.
