Literally.
Drug reps of Swiss drugmaker Novartis in the United States have launched a $225 million (SFr296 million) lawsuit against the firm for unpaid overtime.
Law firm Sanford Wittels & Heisler said Simona Lopes, a former representative, had filed the suit for herself and other employees of the company across the country.
The class action lawsuit alleges Novartis violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York State's overtime laws by failing to pay her for overtime when she worked more than 40 hours a week. It also claims that the company's New York employees involved in product sales were misclassified by the company as exempt from federal and state overtime requirements.
And thats not all!
Novartis is involved in another class action suit, launched by the same law firm in February 2005, which alleges sex discrimination by Novartis managers against current and former employees. They are seeking $100 million in damages.
