Case Name

Jeffrey Bouder, et al. v. Prudential Financial Inc., et al. and Jim Wang, et al. v. Prudential Financial Inc., et al.
Case No. 2:06-cv-04359-CCC-MF
District Court for the District of New Jersey

Case Summary

In general, these two lawsuits (the “Settled Lawsuits”) allege that Prudential improperly denied Covered Agents overtime pay in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201, et seq. (“FLSA”) and applicable state law. In addition, the Settled Lawsuits allege that Prudential took unlawful deductions from the wages of Covered Agents, including recapture of certain commissions, and/or required some Covered Agents to bear certain necessary business-related expenses. Prudential has vigorously denied all wrongdoing, and maintains that all Covered Agents have been properly compensated at all times. Capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Settlement Agreement and Class Notice.
