VXI Global Solutions

SERVING THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA AREA AND BEYOND

This lawsuit seeks to recover unpaid overtime compensation for call center employees of VXI Global Solutions. The workers allege that VXI violated federal law by failing to pay them for all their work activities including, for example, time spent logging into and starting up required computer programs prior to the start of their paid shift and time spent working off-the-clock during the shift. On November 6, 2017, the judge ruled that the call center employees must pursue their rights by bringing individual arbitration proceedings against the company.
