Your rights may be affected by a collective action lawsuit regarding overtime compensation.

COURT-AUTHORIZED NOTICE

 

If you have been an Account Executive or Sales Development Representative at LinkSquares at any time since October 17, 2021, please read this notice.

 

A collective action lawsuit may affect your legal rights

 

This is a court-authorized notice.  This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

 

  • A lawsuit was brought by a former LinkSquares Account Executive who claims that LinkSquares misclassified him as exempt from overtime and failed to pay him and other salespeople overtime for the hours they worked over 40 in a workweek as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  An additional salesperson has also opted in to join this case.

 

  • The lawsuit is proceeding as a collective action on behalf of individuals who work or worked at LinkSquares as Account Executives or Sales Development Representatives at any time from October 17, 2021, to the present, and who did not receive overtime compensation for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The Court has not decided who is right and who is wrong. 

 

Your legal rights may be affected, and you have a choice to make now:

You are getting this notice because LinkSquares’s records show that you worked as an Account Executive or Sales Development Representative between October 17, 2021, and the present. 

 

2. What is this lawsuit about?

The lawsuit alleges that LinkSquares failed to pay Account Executives and Sales Development Representatives overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) for the hours they worked over 40 in a workweek.  The plaintiff alleges that he and other salespeople performed as their primary duties non-exempt inside sales work and routinely worked over 40 hours in a workweek to meet the quotas, job requirements, and performance metrics set by LinkSquares.  Plaintiff alleges he and other salespeople were paid a base salary plus a commission and improperly treated as ineligible for overtime.  LinkSquares denies these allegations.  The Court has not yet decided who is correct. 

The lawsuit is known as Caicedo v. LinkSquares Inc., Case No. 1:24-cv-12642, and is pending before he Honorable William G. Young, United States District Judge in the District of Massachusetts.

In a collective action lawsuit, one or more people may bring a lawsuit on behalf of themselves and others who are similarly situated to them.  All salespeople who decide to participate in the FLSA claims in this case are part of the “Collective” and are “Collective Members.”  One court resolves the issues for all Collective Members.
