DETROIT, MI--(Marketwire - August 4, 2010) - On August 3, 2010 a former employee of Flagstar Bank filed suit in Michigan federal court under the Fair Labor Standards Act for unpaid overtime wages. The case was brought on behalf of all mortgage underwriters who worked for Flagstar Bank in the last three years. The Plaintiff alleges that the bank misclassified her and other mortgage underwriters as exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and as a result, improperly denied them overtime compensation.
The case is entitled Mary Kitrys v. Flagstar Bank, and was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Plaintiffs are represented by Paul Lukas, Tim Selander and Charles Frohman from Nichols Kaster, PLLP, which has offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota and San Francisco, California.
