253 workers employed by Cash America West, Inc. and First Cash, Inc. will be receiving a portion of a financial remedy totaling $379,125.73 as part of the settlement.According to OLS, the companies allegedly failed to pay employees Seattle’s minimum wage, currently set at $17.27 an hour for large employers, and provide required rest and meal breaks during their shifts.
“Cash America was not being fair to their associates as far as sick pay and wages. I am glad that me stepping forward was able to hold them accountable and that the other associates will get the wages they earned,” said David Alvarez, a former Cash America employee. “Moving forward my hope is that the associates will feel safe to step forward if this continues or happens again.”
