Source: Found hereA Big Law business development manager says Reed Smith owes her at least $50,000 in overtime pay and other costs after forcing her to work 90 hours per week.
Phoebe Medeiros filed a lawsuit against the firm in California on Feb. 14, alleging that Reed Smith LLP stiffed her on overtime pay. Medeiros said the firm wrongly classified her as a manager, rather than an employee, to avoid paying overtime.
"Although her timesheets state she worked eight-hour days, five days a week, Plaintiff regularly worked ninety-hour workweeks, including working seven days per week and sometimes working up to thirty-six-hour shifts," lawyers for Medeiros said in the complaint, filed in California Superior Court for Los Angeles County.
