: Legal Pad | LANorthwestern Mutual defends itself against individuals who 'are not, and have never been, employees'
By Richard Binder
A $200 million class action lawsuit was filed by two former California financial reps and one former Georgia financial representative for Northwestern Mutual in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Diego and alleges the company denied them minimum and overtime pay.
The plaintiffs also requested the recertification of hundreds of current and former California Northwestern Mutual reps from independent contractors to full-time employees, alleging that the company ?intentionally and repeatedly? misclassified sales employees as independent contractors, who are exempt from federal and state wage and hour laws.
An official for Northwestern denies the allegations.
