Reed v. Boyd Gaming Corp; Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, Case No. A-18-780612-C (filed Eighth Judicial Dist. Nev. Sept. 6, 2018)

Summary

This is a class action on behalf of hourly paid employees for violations of Nevada’s minimum wage and overtime wage laws.

Under Nevada law, employers who offer health benefits are entitled to pay their employees the lower tier minimum wage of $7.25 as opposed to $8.25 as long as the health insurance offered to the employee is less than 10% of the total gross income of the employee or the value of the policy is equal to at least $1.00 per hour. Plaintiff is paid $7.25 per hour but her health insurance contributions are either greater than 10% of her gross income or not equal to at least $1.00 per hour. Plaintiff seeks payment for the wages owed, waiting time penalties, and injunctive relief.

This case was mediated and a settlement was reached. The Court preliminarily approved the Settlement and Notice to Class Members was mailed in early 2020. A final fairness hearing has been scheduled for April 29, 2020.

If you work in Nevada and earn a minimum wage between $7.25 and $8.25 per hour and have question about whether your health insurance coverage meets Nevada requirements, please contact Thierman Buck, LLP immediately to discuss your rights.

Update

The Court granted final approval of the class action settlement, settlement checks were mailed in April and the case was dismissed in May of 2020.

What Our Clients Say

I am so pleased with this law firm and their expertise and assistance in my class action case. We worked together for 3 1/2 years, they were always responsive, helpful and reassuring if I had any questions or concerns. They have also received multiple calls from other members of the class action and have been responsive to those calls coming in too. I never for one moment had any complaints whatsoever and would highly recommend them to anyone.

So in regards to the people of Nevada vs DETR, Mark is a non-stop, guns blazing, no BS kind of attorney. This guy just doesn't back down. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of a lawsuit facing this firm. To the people who are concerned that they aren't being heard, you must realize the absolute burden that every individual case adds to the class action. I haven't had my calls or emails returned, even offered to pay for a face to face consultation, and still no response, and that's okay... I also understand that I am just one of thousands of people with the same issue. Thank you mark for representing the people of this state, and not giving into DETR's BS. Keep up the amazing work!

Great firm to deal with. Listened to all aspects of our case and was able to come out with a positive ruling. Highly recommend them to anyone out there needing help with a class action suit.
