HUNTINGTON – A woman is suing TLK Group in a class action lawsuit after she claims it violated the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act.
Terina M. Hamilton was employed by TLK until Feb. 22, 2014, according to a complaint filed Jan. 19 in Cabell Circuit Court.
Hamilton claims the defendant failed to pay her final wages in a timely manner and she did not receive her final wages until March 2014 and May 5, 2014.
The defendant’s actions violated the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act, according to the suit.
Hamilton claims all persons formerly employed by the defendant in West Virginia who were involuntarily discharged within five years of the filing of the complaint and not paid all wages within 72 hours or within four business days or by the next regular payday, depending on when they were discharged from the defendant.
Consistent with the defendant’s pay practices, the defendant failed to pay the plaintiff and other class members within the time period mandated by the WPCA, according to the suit.
Hamilton is seeking compensatory damages. She is being represented by Jonathan R. Marshall and Sandra Henson Kinney of Bailey & Glasser; and Todd S. Bailess and Rodney A. Smith at Bailess Smith PLLC.
The case is assigned to Circuit Judge Christopher D. Chiles.
