I am curious to know if anyone knows the law firm handling the nation wide class action lawsuit for Premium. I see one from CA but not nationwaide. They are demanding we sign a form saying if we want to continue to work for them or if we ever want to work for them again, we have to sign away our rights to sue or become part of a class action lawsuit. I refuse to sign away my rights, but can't find the lawsuit and want to be a part of it

We did it here in my state and the dept of labor sued them for the unemployment insurance claim since their rep saw fit to not show up for the live on the phone court hearing. I wish more would follow suit. File wage claims whatever you have to do. Also get your paperwork signed by store management and have at least some sort of solid proof of your hours work actual hours worked and then nail em. PRS is a fraud.

Not only does Premium Retail Services NOT pay but they go to extremes to make sure that no matter what you submit is categorized as "wrong" by them. I had a problem where, as someone else stated, they continually tell you that they never receive your timesheet when you email them to the correct place they tell you to. Then you, of course, send them again. Should be the proper action considering Premium Retail Services tells you to send them again. Now Premium Retail Services takes your timesheet that they requested you send again and re-enters it into their system. Now you have DOUBLE hours submitted and are immediately sent a warning regarding false and inaccurate timesheets and how if you do it 3 times you are fired! WHAT?!?! I did not do this - their department entered it twice and now by saying you sent it wrong, the timesheet is listed as "Having an issue" and they will not pay for anything in that pay period because at least one is wrong. Very convenient for Premium Retail Services since they do this at least once in every pay period...Tada - now they do not have to pay you for any of those days you worked. You can call and email until you are so irritated and aggravated and they still refuse to correct anything in order to get you paid. I am waiting for over 120 hours worth of pay and they have paid me so far for exactly 10 hours! 10 hours of pay for over a month of work is not and should not be acceptable to anyone.
Premium Retail Services does not seem to have anyone in any position that I have dealt with that are able to correct any problem or do anything at all to resolve this situation. I feel I am being harassed because I had a disagreement with the payroll manager on the phone when I first tried to get this problem fixed. The payroll manager was rude, arrogant, and yelled at me on the phone on how stupid I was and how they (Premium Retail Services) would be better off if I quit...And since that day the problems have compounded to where they are truly out of control.
I am at a total loss on what to do or how to proceed but it is going to be really difficult to give my kids any kind of Christmas with 10 hours worth of pay. I really wish I knew what to do but everyone tells me if I quit I will NEVER get paid so I continually spend my money for gas, babysitting, etc. to go work my schedule knowing that I still cannot seem to get paid. I also cannot give any exact examples because I already am being retaliated against by Premium Retail Services and do NOT want it to get worse.
