Takin' Care of Business and Working Paid Overtime

Posted by Zonk on from the i'll-buy-that-for-a-dollar dept.

theodp writes "About 800 CA-based Siebel employees who held the job title 'software engineer' or 'senior software engineer' stand to pocket $27,000 each from the proceeds of Siebel's $27.5 settlement of an overtime dispute. And while IBM's 32,000 techies won't make out quite as well, they'll still divvy up $65M in OT pay that IBM's shelling out to settle a federal class action suit."

    Wow! A $27.5 settlement that gives $27000 to 800 workers? How do I get that guy to be my accountant?

      More likely, especially given IBM's pay-out, is that the submitter left off an m (for million)...

      With Slashdot's crack editing staff? Unpossible.

      No accountant. Its a mistake by the editors. The settlement was $27,000 which was to be split up by 800 workers. The lawyer took $26,972.50 as a fee. So the workers have to split $27.50.

      Not satisfied?

      I am the accountant you insensitive clod! I have money that grows on trees.
