On May 3, 2024, Bradley King, David Hager, and Sharon Peacock, former Mortgage Sales Employees (MSEs) at City National Bank of Florida, filed a putative class and collective action lawsuit alleging that City National Bank violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Florida Minimum Wage Act (FLMWA). The Plaintiffs allege that the bank failed to pay minimum wages and overtime compensation due under the law.
Specifically, Plaintiffs claim they were instructed to block report their time as 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday, regardless of actual hours worked. The Plaintiffs seek to recover unpaid wages, unpaid overtime and minimum wages, liquidated damages, and attorneys’ fees.
To join the King case, you must have worked for City National Bank of Florida as an MSE or in a similar position during the last three years. Please call one of our employment attorneys today for more information. The case is still in its earliest phases, and there have been no determinations regarding the merits of the case or whether the case will be certified as a collective action. However, the statute of limitations (i.e., the amount of time that may pass prior to you being unable to sue City National Bank because too much time has passed) will continue to run until you file a Consent Form. Hence, if you have worked for City National Bank of Florida in the last three years and wish to protect your rights pending decisions on certification, you can sign the Consent Form below, and the Form will be filed.
The attorneys handling this case are working on a contingency fee basis. They may be entitled to receive attorneys’ fees and costs from City National Bank should there be a recovery or judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. If there is a recovery, the attorneys will receive a portion of any settlement obtained or money judgment entered in favor of all members of the class, or their fees will be paid separately by City National Bank. If there is no recovery or judgment in Plaintiffs’ favor, the attorneys will not seek any attorney’s fees or costs from any of the Plaintiffs.
