Staffing Firm Faces Class-Action Lawsuit
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Snelling Staffing Services alleging
unfair business practices and other claims. The representative plaintiff in the
suit is Nick Zanze, who was previously employed as a recruiter at Snelling,
according to court filings.
The suit, filed in March, claims Snelling deprived former internal personnel
of money earned because of rules for payment of commissions.
The suit cites the company’s employment contract that states workers must be
employed with Snelling on the last day of the month for which the monthly
commission is to be paid in order to receive the commission. For direct hire
placements, commissions aren’t paid to internal workers if a client pays after
the staffing firm internal worker has left the employment of Snelling, according
to the lawsuit.
It also claims Snelling wrongfully has noncompete clauses in its employment
contract in states where such clauses aren’t allowed, including California,
Colorado, Montana and Hawaii.
Attorneys for Snelling, headquartered in Dallas, have filed a motion to
dismiss the case, which is scheduled to be heard in court July 6.
