Three plaintiffs are behind a proposed class action in which they allege Hartford Fire Insurance Company failed to pay proper wages to current and former claims analysts at the company’s Onondaga County, New York location. The plaintiffs, who the case says processed long- and short-term disability claims for the defendant’s clients until December 2013, allege they and at least 100 other workers were misclassified as exempt from overtime pay under New York Labor Law. Consequently, proposed class members regularly worked more than 40 hours each week without time-and-a-half hourly pay, instead being compensated at only their salaried straight-time rate.
