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.
