Squitieri & Fearon, LLP is investigating employers who pay employees using ATM cards. A growing number companies are no longer using paychecks to pay their employees and are instead issuing A.T.M. cards, debit cards and cash cards to employees. Often the employees are then charged fees for using the card, meaning that the employees are receiving less pay than they should. Some of those fees add up quickly and can amount to a large part of the person’s pay. Recently the New York State Attorney General began investigating these practices and has requested more information from some large employers, such as McDonald’s Walgreens, and Wal-Mart. We are also investigating whether the employers receive back any portion of the fees from the banks when the employee uses the card.
Squitieri & Fearon, LLP has significant experience prosecuting class actions on behalf of consumers.
