CVN recorded an earlier bench trial in this litigation.
In this retail industry employment class action litigation proceeding, plaintiff Peter Knoch, an assistant store manager with Safeway Inc. alleged the company of misclassifying him as exempt from being paid overtime. According to the plaintiff tasks that Safeway characterized as managerial were insufficient to establish exempt status under California law.
The defendant asserted that store managers and assistant managers were responsible for all aspects of the store's operations and profitability, and that the plaintiff was mostly managing.
