Singleton v. AT&T Mobility Services, LLC
What Happened
Employees at AT&T Mobility Services alleged that the company required them to work without paying them for that time—work performed "off the clock." This is a violation of federal wage laws that guarantee workers must be paid for all hours worked.
What the Court Decided
Rather than proceeding to trial, both sides reached a settlement agreement. The court reviewed and approved this settlement as fair and reasonable to the workers. The court also approved the attorney's fees that AT&T agreed to pay.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case demonstrates that workers have legal protections against unpaid work. Even when companies are large and powerful like AT&T, courts will hold them accountable for wage theft. The settlement shows that employers cannot avoid responsibility by going to court—they must compensate workers for all time worked, including off-the-clock hours. If you believe your employer is not paying you for work performed, you may have legal rights to recover that pay.
