ABBEY SPANIER INVESTIGATES VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FOR FAILURE TO PAY OVERTIME COMPENSATION TO ITS TELEPHONE ACCOUNT MANAGERS IN VIOLATION OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT AND STATE WAGE AND HOUR LAWS

Abbey Spanier is currently investigating Verizon Communications, Inc. for unfair employment practices. Verizon allegedly misclassifies its telephone account managers as exempt from the overtime requirements of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (the "FLSA"). The FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek.

Abbey Spanier has been representing employees in class actions and collective actions in federal and state courts throughout the United States for over a decade.

If you are a current or former employee of Verizon and would like to discuss our investigation, please tell me your story.
