Current Action

Important Notice Please Read Carefully

If you worked for The Body Shop as a Shop Manager, you may be entitled to time and one-half for any time you were permitted to work over 40 hours in a week between the time period of July 20, 1998 to July 5, 2003.

This is true even if you were paid on a salary basis or were classified as an exempt employee.

You may be owed this money even if you agreed to work this extra time, and even if you did not expect to get paid for it.

If you did what was described above, you may be entitled to overtime payments through this lawsuit.

The Body Shop Class Action Lawsuit

The lawsuit was brought after a team of attorneys investigated The Body Shop practices and concluded that The Body Shop systematically failed to pay proper overtime to a group of its employees. This lawsuit is currently pending in United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The court has not made any determinations concerning the scope of the class.
