Burberry has reached a $2.54 million settlement with workers in New York who claimed the luxury retailer deprived them of overtime wages.
The class action lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York in December 2015 reached a resolution this week that, after attorney fees were limited to one-third of the settlement award, could amount to about a $2,500 payout for each of the 643 workers in the class.
