A Pennsylvania telemarketing firm that pitches newsletters and other products to businesses has been hit with an order to pay employees for allegedly docking their pay for things like stretching after long periods of time sitting in one spot and restroom breaks.
The U.S. District Court of Eastern District, Pennsylvania issued a resolution to American Future Systems, ordering it to pay at least $1.75 million in back wages and liquidated damages for deducting time used in rehabilitative breaks and docking wages on employee pay.
