Deion Walker v. United Parcel Service, Inc.

I. Background

In this representative action, Plaintiff claims that Defendant failed to pay him, and other aggrieved employees, reporting time wages. Plaintiff worked for Defendant from November 11, 2019, to January 10, 2020, as a non- exempt, hourly package loader and unloader at UPS hubs and terminals in Los Angeles. See First Amended Complaint, Dkt. # 1-2 (“FAC”), ¶ 8. Plaintiff claims that, as many as three times per week, after “clocking in” to Defendant’s timekeeping system, Defendant dismissed him from his shift without paying him reporting time wages. Id. ¶ 9, 18. For example, on instances where Defendant scheduled Plaintiff to work from 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., many times, Defendant would tell Plaintiff to clock out and go home after roughly a half-hour without paying him reporting time wages. Id. ¶ 19.
