A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit over allegations some CVS pharmacists in California’s Region 60 worked more than six consecutive days without being paid overtime.

The CVS unpaid overtime class action lawsuit (Angil Sharobiem, et al. v. CVS Pharmacy Inc., et al.) asserts the following claims: (1) failure to pay overtime; (2) failure to provide accurate itemized statements; (3) waiting time penalties; (4) conversion; (5) unfair business practices; and (6) penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act.

According to the CVS class action lawsuit, pharmacists who work more than six days in a row are entitled to overtime pay for work beyond the sixth day, regardless of how CVS defines its work week.

This class action settlement pertains only to Region 60. Similar settlements have already been reached with CVS pharmacists in Regions 54, 65, 74, and 73.

CVS denies the allegations but agreed to settle the class action lawsuits to avoid the expense and uncertainty associated with ongoing litigation.
