Washington, DC: Amazon is facing an employment class action lawsuit filed by Plaintiff Kelly Pavuk ("Pavuk") (Case No. 2013-11565-0, in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas) who alleges Amazon failed to compensate her adequately for time working at the Amazon facility in Pennsylvania. Pavuk makes this claim on behalf of herself and other similarly situated.

Specifically, the lawsuit claims the defendants failed to comply with the requirements of the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act ("PMWA"), thereby violating the PMWA by not compensating all Warehouse Workers during the end-of-shift screening process that "approximately takes between 10 and 20 minutes, and, with delays … can last longer."

Further, the lawsuit claims the defendants violated the PMWA by not compensating all Warehouse Workers for passing through the same screening process during meal breaks or for walking to that screening area. And, the lawsuit claims the defendants "automatically deduct 30 minutes from Warehouse Workers' compensable time each shift for an unpaid meal break,""require Warehouse Workers to remain at their work locations within the Facility until the start of the purported 30-minute meal break,"and that "[a]fter the start of the 30-minute meal break, Warehouse Workers walk to the [Facility'] time clocks and clock-out."
