Are you sure you are in good hands? If you were not convinced by the AllState TV commercial that you are in good hands there might be a reason for that. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has upheld the certification of a class composed of an estimated 800 Allstate Insurance Co. adjusters who allege they were forced to forgo overtime pay. After Allstate shifted its claims adjusters from exempt positions to hourly status in 2005, the plaintiffs alleged that the insurance company never started paying them overtime for working more than 40 hours or for missing meal breaks. Circuit Judge Ronald M. Gould, writing for the court, upheld the certification of the class regarding unpaid overtime, for adjusters allegedly not being paid wages on time and for Allstate allegedly engaging in unfair competition.
