John Sealock v. Covance Market Access Services, Inc.Case No. 17-cv-5857

On August 3, 2017, Lead Plaintiff John Sealock, on behalf of himself and those similarly situated, filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Southern District of New York against Covance Market Access Services, Inc. The complaint alleges as follows: Plaintiff worked for Defendant from July 28, 2016 to May 17, 2017 with a substantial amount of his duties performed from his residence located in the Bronx, New York. Throughout his employment, Defendant required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff did work, five days per week, starting his workday at approximately 9:00 a.m. and ending between approximately 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., while rarely providing him with an uninterrupted break during each workday. Thus, by approximation, Defendant required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff did work, between forty-two and one-half and forty-five hours per week. In addition, Defendant paid Plaintiff a flat weekly salary of $1,384.61 which was intended to cover only the first forty hours that Plaintiff worked each week and which yields a regular hourly rate of $34.61 per hour.
