Unpaid Wages

Kaplan Fox is currently investigating claims from workers in the so-called “sharing economy” that work for many app-based companies providing services such as driving, deliveries, pet-sitting and personal errands.  Recently, a number of lawsuits have been filed against companies providing on demand services such as Uber, Lyft, Sprig, GrubHub, DoorDash, and Homejoy alleging that its “independent contractors” are actually employees entitled to wages and other benefits.

On July 12, 2018, Kaplan Fox brought a proposed class action lawsuit against SkyWest Airlines in federal court in San Francisco, California. The lawsuit alleges that SkyWest failed to properly pay its “ramp agents” according to California wage and hour laws.
