EA Settles Employee Lawsuit

Posted by Zonk on from the one-down-a-few-hundred-to-go dept.

Vicissidude writes "EA has agreed to pay out $15.6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by artists seeking overtime pay." From the aticle: "The employees charged that EA violated labor laws requiring it to pay overtime and were seeking past-due overtime pay and penalties. Under the settlement, about 200 entry-level artists will become hourly workers eligible for overtime pay and a one-time grant of restricted EA stock. Those employees would then be excluded from bonuses and stock option grants. No news on the lawsuit filed by EA programmers."

    You need to recheck your calculations. It would be approx. $80K each (before legal fees, etc).
