Labor & Employment
TMF consultants have substantial experience developing models to analyze alleged damages claims and assess potential risk exposure in employment class action disputes. Our professionals evaluate potential damages through analysis and synthesis of various sources of employment-related data, such as computer, phone, card swipe, payroll and schedule data. Our experts have assessed employment class action damages related to the following:• Employee Misclassification
• Unpaid Meal and Rest Breaks
• Standby Pay Violations
• Sales Commission Chargebacks
• Minimum Wage Violations
• Company Uniform Policies
• Non-Payment of Straight Time and Overtime Allegations
• Failure to Reimburse Expenses
Working in conjunction with counsel, our professionals create models to determine the risk exposure and potential damages based on numerous factors, such as employee location, job title and supervisor and employment activity and compensation data. We also analyze company data to determine potential class members for employees working in multiple job titles or functions with changing employment status.
We have also analyzed damages for individuals and groups of employees related to employee terminations and alleged discrimination. These engagements have included economic studies of compensation, fringe benefits, retirement and pension plans, stock options, appropriate period of loss, wage escalation and discount rates. We have also analyzed replacement compensation, including the valuation of closely held companies and small businesses.
