Robinson v. Connections Health Wellness Advocacy

What is the case about?
On October 19, 2009, an action was filed against Defendant Connections Health Wellness Advocacy ("Connections") on behalf of the named Plaintiff Sherry Robinson and all other similarly-situated individuals in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.

Plaintiff was employed by Connections as a case manager. The action alleges that Connections 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 she and all other similarly-situated individuals are entitled to recover from Connections unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.

Am I part of the class?
Plaintiff seeks to sue on behalf of herself and also on behalf of other employees with whom she is similarly situated. Plaintiff alleges that those individuals consist of current and former case managers of Connections at any time within the last three years.
