Just got a check in the mail from the DOL Landmark settlement! - Happy

Posted: Apr 03, 2015

It was about twice the amount I was expecting, if I was to get anything at all! I'm pleasantly shocked! The DOL had called me about a month ago to ask me several questions about when I had worked there. The letter included with the check from Landmark said that they don't agree with it, but agreed to pay it anyway. LOL Hopefully there will be some other former Landmark employees who will also be getting a nice surprise in their mailboxes!

Landmark settlement? - rock bottom

Could you provide more information on that this is about?

FANTASTIC! - Heather

I received the email from the DOL about a year ago, returned call and left a VM but they never got back to me.

So did they bring your wages up to minimum for your state? I'm expecting (hoping) for a check as I was with them about a year.

I was never contacted - by the DOL.

Do you think everyone will get something or just the people contacted? I could use some!

They did! - Happy

I was with them for about 2 years and it was a very nice check! I had to laugh when I read the "hate" letter that they included with the check saying that they don't agree at all with it, so it's pretty clear that the DOL made them send the payment. I had a pretty long phone conversation with the DOL about a month ago. They called me completely out of the blue. It's a good thing I answered the call!

What state is the DOL? Do you have their contact info? - Heather

[ In Reply To ..]
Just in case we need to see who is included. Not sure if it just covers certain dates or what. Thanks.

I'm not sure what state they were in - SM - Happy

The person who called me from the DOL told me that the investigation was being wrapped up and the case was being closed, so I don't think they're doing anything else with it. I'm not sure where she was located. She said the investigation took quite a long time to complete. She did tell me that they had contacted several people who had worked for Landmark, but weren't able to get in touch with everyone. By the time they called me, she told me that they had spoken with enough people to be able to finally finish up the investigation.

Anyone know how they went about figuring.... - ex-Landmarkgal

your settlement amount? I did get a check but it was very small and I worked with them for about two years. Not complaining, but just curious what they would base the amount on.

I got a check from them today too, however... - Heather

[ In Reply To ..]
It was WAY less than expected. I'll have to look into it as I think is should have been more.

Anyone else get a Landmark check?

Someone posted they were not contacted, but that shouldn't matter. They have the payroll records and probably just contacted enough to indicate that we were all screwed out of minimum wage.

Since we're all - anonymous here....

Is anyone willing to share the amount they received? Just curious. I wasnt contacted either but could I still get a check anyway?

With them about a year and got about 300. - Heather

I got just over $1100 - Happy

[ In Reply To ..]
I was very surprised. I was only expecting around $500-$600.

SWEEEET! - Good for you!

I never worked for Landmark, but I hope other MTs get what's due them also. Congrats!

Landmark settlement - wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
Who would I need to contact about this? I worked for them for about a year or so a few years ago and this is the first I've heard of this. Would sure like to receive a check too if I'm eligible. :) Thanks

What does LM mean when they say they don't think they were in error? - Heather

[ In Reply To ..]
They don't believe MTs should make minimum wage? Interesting.

I wondered that as well - Happy

[ In Reply To ..]
In my letter, they said they believed I "had been paid appropriately." Not when I'm screwed out of overtime and having to sit at my desk for hours and hours not making any money because there wasn't enough work, and then having to put in several extra hours just to try and make up for all the time when there wasn't any work! I'm so glad I don't work there anymore. Hopefully this will set an example for other companies who have these same illegal practices!

Guess I'm not getting a check - because it probably

would have come by now. Did everyone get them the same day?

After the flurry of posts on this board this week regarding Landmark and then doing more research on my own in the archives on Landmark, I have decided to move on. I am an employee of Landmark also. I believe where there is smoke, there is fire to follow. I have not seen what others are saying, but the lack of communication I have experienced and I am a person who do not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. So, I am finding another job and I suggest everyone on th ...

Does anyone know if the job ad Landmark posted recently (oncology) is a new account for them?

I would like to apply but don't want to waste my time if there isn't enough work in the first place. Thanks for your help. ...

Landmark posting for radiology jobs? I work for them and barely have any work. Please look at the people you already have hired before you hire more. That's why people don't stay.

I'd love to hear from you. ...

I just saw an ad on the job seeker's board for Landmark stating they are hiring for VR because their account is switching to VR. Does anyone know if this is across the board for Landmark? Are they totally switching to VR altogether? Or just one certain account? I am worried because personally I hate VR and rather enjoy the straight typing I do for them. Thanks in advance! ...
