On November 19, 2007, the overtime lawyers at Martin & Martin, LLP filed a federal lawsuit for overtime pay in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to recover unpaid overtime for employees of Ethan Allen throughout the country. The case challenges Ethan Allen's failure to pay for all hours worked over 40 in a work week.
Plaintiffs seek unpaid overtime wages and "liquidated" or double damages and attorneys' fees. The suit covers all employees who held a sales position and always, or almost always, were paid only their same fixed draw amount each pay period and never, or almost never, received additional compensation in the form of commissions regardless of where in the United States they lived or worked for Ethan Allen. The specific employees covered by the lawsuit are all such sales individuals who worked at any time from November 19, 2004 to the present, including those who are currently so employed.
