SolarCity Overtime & Meal and Rest Break Lawsuit

Our attorney Steven Tindall (along with Law Offices of Arthur Navarette, Rukin Hyland, and Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik) represented SolarCity employees in an employment class action lawsuit entitled Altman v. SolarCity Corporation, in the San Diego County Superior Court. We represented Field Energy Advisors who worked in California at any time from July 15, 2010 to March 31, 2014.

We alleged that SolarCity failed to:

Pay these employees overtime compensation
Provide meal and rest breaks required by California law
Provide suitable seating
Provide accurate, itemized wage statements

Field Energy Advisors Settlement

On February 16, 2018, Hon. Timothy Taylor of the San Diego Superior Court granted final approval to a settlement of this action that created a settlement fund of $924,000, out of which would be paid settlement payments to Field Energy Advisors, attorneys’ fees and costs, and class representative service payments.

The Field Energy Advisors’ settlement share was calculated based on the number of weeks they worked during the class period. The Field Energy Advisors do not need to submit a claim form in order to receive a settlement payment.
