MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - A federal judge has approved a $260,000 settlement of a class-action lawsuit led by four former employees of a Martinsburg rental store.
The lawsuit against ABC Television and Appliance Rental Inc. alleged the company did not pay overtime wages to employees of its Prime Time Rentals stores in Martinsburg, Hagerstown, Md., and Winchester, Va., according to Robert Schiavoni, one of the lawyers for the workers.
The class-action lawsuit covered "a few hundred" current and former employees of the company's 22 stores in six states, Schiavoni said.
An employee at the Prime Time Rental store in Hagerstown said the company had no comment on the lawsuit and would comply with the settlement agreement.
