The plaintiff was an IT support technician for Amazon from April to September 2019. The proposed class includes all salaried IT workers who worked for Amazon in California in the last four years. The plaintiff averred that they "were misclassified as exempt and were not paid an hourly wage or overtime pay during the Liability Period.

Wilson instead awarded the firm just $1 and noted that he only awarded that much because the statute says attorneys' fees "shall" be paid to the winning party.
