Current Action
Important Notice, Please read carefully:
If you worked as a funeral director, embalmer, location manager, family service counselor, or similar position, for Service Corporation International ("SCI"), (or at any other funeral home location) our investigation suggests you were supposed to be paid for all the time you were permitted to work. Further, any time you were permitted to work over 40 hours in a week should have been paid to you at time and one-half rates.
Our investigation into SCI funeral homes has revealed many issues including: failure to pay for required community work; failure to pay for work performed while "on call"; failure to pay for after hour time spent in training; failure to pay for work that was not pre approved; failure to pay for work that was not recorded; failure to pay for time worked during lunch breaks; failure to pay for after hour pre needs appointments; and failure to include all payments in calculating overtime.
The law requires you to be paid for this time even if you agreed to work the time, and even if you did not expect to get paid for it.
SCI Class Action Lawsuit
If you are a current or former SCI employee, and you worked at any of their nationwide funeral services locations, you may be entitled to overtime payments in a lawsuit against SCI. Further, if you worked for another employer and have similar problems, you can contact us to see if you are entitled to payments from them.
A lawsuit was brought after a team of attorneys investigated SCI's practices and concluded that SCI systematically failed to pay proper overtime to a group of its employees. A court has not made a final determination concerning the scope of the class or liability.
