Morgan Keegan sued for unpaid overtime, wrongful termination
Morgan Keegan & Company and its parent company, Regions Financial Corporation, were recently named in a time and attendance lawsuit by a former administrative assistant.
Mildred Ann Dudley alleges that she was terminated for highlighting Morgan Keegan's noncompliance with Fair Labor Standards Act regulations. Specifically, she claims the organization did not keep track of employee attendance or adequately compensate workers for overtime. In one instance, she said she was given a timesheet and instructed not to include her overtime hours on it.
The Commercial Appeal reports that Morgan Keegan officials claim Dudley was let go for unrelated reasons, including "inconsistent attendance, talking on a personal cellphone, absence from her desk and rude comments to co-workers."
Dudley is seeking overtime back pay, as well as an award of attorney's fees and costs.
Elsewhere in the country, a former police officer who sued the Los Angeles Police Department for terminating him after he testified about its FLSA violations recently agreed to a $3.2 million settlement, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
