The law offices of Juroviesky and Ricci LLP in conjunction with Kenneth Alexander of Ball and Alexander, Barristers and Solicitors, have filed a class action lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against KPMG LLP (“Defendant”), a member of the international firm of KPMG.

The suit claims overtime compensation for employees of KPMG that were wrongfully denied, or never properly compensated for their overtime work. For further details please see the statement of claim on Juroviesky and Ricci’s website www.jrclassactions.com

The class includes all employees of KPMG such as lawyers, non-CA staff and others, that worked more than 44 hours in a week, were not paid overtime pay, and are not exempt under applicable regulation.

Juroviesky and Ricci LLP are seeking to pursue statutory and common law remedies against the Defendant for breach of the Employment Standards Act, and Breach of Contract.

To the knowledge of Juroviesky and Ricci LLP, no other statement of claim has been filed in this matter against Defendants and no other law firms, as at the time of filing its statement of claim, represent plaintiffs in this litigation.
