Jackson v. Papa John's
What is the case about?
On November 26, 2008, an action was filed against Defendants Papa John’s USA, Inc. and Papa John’s International, Inc. (collectively “Papa John’s”) on behalf of the named Plaintiff Eusebius Jackson and all other similarly-situated individuals in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
Plaintiff was employed by Papa John’s as an assistant manager. The action alleges that Papa John’s violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by misclassifying Plaintiff and other similarly-situated employees as “exempt” employees, and not paying them overtime compensation.
Plaintiff believes that he and all other similarly-situated individuals are entitled to recover from Papa John’s unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.
Am I part of the class?
Plaintiff seeks to sue on behalf of himself and also on behalf of other employees with whom he is similarly situated. Plaintiff alleges that those individuals consist of current and former salaried assistant managers of Papa John’s at any time within the last three years.
