Case No. Judge

COMPLAINT

Plaintiffs Larry Dean, Sr. and Whitney Edwards, on behalf of themselves and all other

persons similarly situated, known and unknown, and John Nsidibe, Anthony Dunn, Roberto

Gutierrez and Demetrie Collins (collectively “Plaintiffs”), for their Complaint against

Defendants Eclipse Advantage, Inc. (“Eclipse”) and Mid-West Temp Group, Inc. (“Mid-West”)

(collectively “Defendants”), state as follows:

I. INTRODUCTION

1. Plaintiffs worked in a warehouse in Ellwood, Illinois that houses and distributes

goods for Walmart. Defendant Eclipse provides logistical services and staffing to the Walmart

warehouse. Defendant Mid-West is a staffing agency that provides additional temporary laborers

to the Walmart warehouse through Defendant Eclipse and to other third party companies.

When Plaintiffs and other employees of Defendants were hired, they were promised a

minimum hourly wage rate, with a potential to earn more based on a productivity bonus. When

Plaintiffs received their pay, they found their pay stubs did not contain information about their

hours worked and wages earned required by Illinois law and that they required to determine if

they had been paid the rate promised. Instead, their pay stubs either contained incorrect or no

information on weekly hours worked. For example, when Plaintiff Whitney Edward received her

paycheck on July 22, 2011, her pay stub, attached as Exhibit A, indicated that she was

compensated for 12 hours at the promised minimum hourly rate of $9.25 per hour. However,

Plaintiff Edwards had, in fact, worked substantially more hours than those indicated on her check

stub and, as a result, was compensated less than the promised minimum $9.25 per hour and was

compensated less than the federal minimum wages for many hours and was not compensated

overtime wages for overtime hours she worked as required by federal law. When Plaintiff

Edwards sought copies of the records showing the number of hours Defendants billed and paid

for her work, as required by Illinois law and which would allow her to prove the underpayment

of her wages, Defendants refused to comply with her request in violation of Illinois law.

In addition, Defendants failed to pay Plaintiffs and other laborers a minimum of four

hours “show up pay” on days when they were contracted to work but not utilized for a minimum

of four hours and failed to pay Plaintiffs and other laborers vacation pay that they had earned and

accrued pursuant to Illinois law and Defendants had promised them to induce them to work for

Defendants instead of working for other staffing agencies. Finally, Defendants failed to provide

Plaintiffs and other laborers with important information on Employment Notices and Wage

Payment Notices about their job assignment and pay which the Illinois legislature found

necessary to protect such at-risk workers from “abuse of their labor rights, including unpaid

wages, failure to pay for all hours worked, minimum wage and overtime violations, and unlawful

deduction from pay for meals, transportation, equipment and other items.” 820 ILCS 175/2.

Plaintiffs are seeking back pay for themselves and for other laborers employed by Eclipse

and Mid-West and are seeking an injunction against Defendants from future violations of federal

Case: 1:11-cv-08285 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/19/11 Page 2 of 37 PageID #:2

Page 3: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN … · 2018-06-07 · 1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION LARR Y DEAN,

and state wage laws. In addition, Plaintiffs seek an injunction against Defendants to end their

practice of not providing accurate information in writing to temporary laborers about the terms

and conditions of their employment at the beginning of assignments and when they are paid.

II. NATURE OF THE CASE

2. This lawsuit arises under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §201 et seq.

(“FLSA”), the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, 820 ILCS 105/1 et seq. (“IMWL”), the Illinois

Wage Payment and Collection Act, 820 ILCS 115/1 et seq. (“IWPCA”) and the Illinois Day and

Temporary Labor Services Act, 820 ILCS 175/1 et seq. (“IDTLSA”) for Defendants’: 1) failure

to pay Plaintiffs and other similarly situated employees at least the federally and/or state-

mandated minimum wages for all time worked in violation of the FLSA, the IMWL and the

IDTLSA; 2) failure to pay Plaintiffs and other similarly situated employees all earned wages at

the rate agreed to by the parties in violation of the IWPCA and the IDTLSA; 3) failure to

compensate Plaintiffs and similarly situated employees for a minimum of four hours pay at the

agreed upon rate when a day or temporary laborer was contracted to work for a third party client

company and was utilized for less than four hours in violation of the IDTLSA; 4) failure to

provide Plaintiffs and other similarly situated employees with Employment Notices as required

by the IDTLSA; and 5) failure to provide Plaintiffs and other similarly situated employees with

proper Wage Payment and Notices as required by the IDTLSA; 6) failure to pay Plaintiffs and

the class they seek to represent earned vacation pay as required by IWPCA; 7) as to Mid-West

only, failure to provide bill and pay records to Plaintiff Whitney Edwards. For minimum wage

and overtime claims arising under the FLSA, Plaintiffs Dean and Edwards bring this suit as a

collective action pursuant to Section 216(b) of the FLSA. 29 U.S.C. §216(b) and their consents

to act as representative Plaintiffs are attached hereto as Exhibits B and C, respectively. For

vacation pay. See Eclipse Vacation Policy in Employee Handbook at page 14 attached hereto as

Exhibit D.

17. In the three years prior to Plaintiffs’ filing this lawsuit, Defendants contracted

Plaintiffs and similarly situated laborers and sent them to a third party client to perform work but

Plaintiffs were not utilized by the third party client or were utilized for less than four (4) hours.

On such occasions, Defendants did not compensate the laborers for a minimum of four hours as

required by the IDTLSA.

18. In the three years prior to Plaintiffs filing this lawsuit, Defendants failed to

provide Plaintiffs and similarly situated laborers with an “Employment Notice” at the time of

dispatch to third party clients in the form of a statement containing the following items on a form

laborers’ pay stub or on a form approved by the Illinois Department of Labor, containing the

name, address, and telephone number of each third party client at which the day or temporary

laborer worked.

20. On or about November 2, 2011, Plaintiff Whitney Edwards requested that

Defendant Mid-West provide her with bill and pay records pertaining to her employment at Mid-

West and her placement at Defendant Eclipse. Defendant Mid-West failed to provide copies of

the requested bill and pay records.

VI. CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS

21. Plaintiffs will seek to certify the state law claims arising under the IMWL and

IDTLSA for Illinois-mandated minimum wages and overtime wages (Counts V-VI); state law

claims arising under the IWPCA for unpaid wages (Count VII) and arising under the IDTLSA

for 4 hour minimum pay (Count VIII) and for notice violations (Counts IX – X). Plaintiffs will

ask the Court to determine the rights of the parties pursuant to those statutes and to direct the

Defendants to account for all hours worked and wages paid to the class members during the

temporality of the class.

22. Counts V through X are brought pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 23(a) and (b)

because:

a. the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable.

While the precise number of Class Members has not been determined at

this time, Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendants have each

employed over a thousand persons as day or temporary laborers in Illinois

during the IMWL, IWPCA and IDTLSA Class Periods;

Case: 1:11-cv-08285 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/19/11 Page 9 of 37 PageID #:9

Page 10: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN … · 2018-06-07 · 1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION LARR Y DEAN,

10

b. There are questions of fact or law common to the class, which common

questions predominate over any questions affecting only individual

members. These common questions of law and fact include, without

limitation:

i. Whether Defendants failed to pay Plaintiffs and the Class the Illinois-mandated minimum wage for all time worked in individual work weeks during the IMWL Class Period;

ii. Whether Defendants failed to pay Plaintiffs and the Class for all time worked in individual work weeks at the rate agreed to by the Parties during the IWPCA Class Period;

iii. Whether Defendants failed to compensate Plaintiffs and the Class a minimum of four (4) hours pay at the agreed upon rate on days when a day or temporary laborer was contracted to work but was not utilized for at least four (4) hours by a third party client company as required by 820 ILCS 175/30(g);

iv. Whether Defendants failed to provide Plaintiffs and the Class with proper Employment Notices as required by 820 ILCS 175/10;

v. Whether Defendants failed to provide Plaintiffs and the Class with proper Wage Payment and Notices as required by 820 ILCS 175/30.

c. The class representatives and the members of the class have been equally

affected by Defendants’ failure to pay Illinois minimum wages, overtime

wages, four hour “show up pay” and vacation pay and failure to provide

proper Employment and Wage Payment notices;

d. Given the nature of the temporary staffing industry, members of the class

will be reluctant to bring forth claims for unpaid wages and notice

violations for fear of retaliation;

e. The class representatives, class members and Defendants have a

commonality of interest in the subject matter and remedies sought and the

Case: 1:11-cv-08285 Document #: 1 Filed: 11/19/11 Page 10 of 37 PageID #:10

Page 11: IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN … · 2018-06-07 · 1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION LARR Y DEAN,

11

class representatives are able to fairly and adequately represent the interest

of the classes. If individual actions were required to be brought by each

member of the class injured or affected, the result would be a multiplicity

of actions creating a hardship on the class members, Defendants and the

Court.

23. Therefore, a class action is an appropriate method for the fair and efficient

adjudication of this lawsuit.
