If you worked for America First Credit Union (“AFCU”) as a branch employee, you may be entitled to a payment from the settlement of a collective action arbitration if you complete and return the Consent to Join form.

A former branch employee known as the “Claimant” has sued AFCU in an arbitration seeking unpaid wages pursuant to federal and state wage and hour law, including but not limited to the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The arbitration is known as Jennings v. America First Credit Union. The arbitration alleges that AFCU, referred to as the “Respondent,” failed to pay Claimant and other BEs for all hours worked, including but not limited to overtime hours over 40 per week. Specifically, the Claimant alleges that AFCU failed to pay BEs all hours worked, including time spent before the start of their shifts performing branch opening security procedures and logging into their computers prior to clocking in via AFCU’s timekeeping software.

AFCU denies the allegations in the arbitration, and maintains that it at all times properly compensated its BEs. The parties have entered into this settlement solely with the intention to avoid further disputes and litigation with the attendant inconvenience and expense. The Court has not made any ruling on the merits of the Claimant’s claims, and no party has prevailed in this action.
