This class action alleges that branch managers and assistant branch managers at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent-A-Car branches across Canada have been unfairly denied overtime pay. De Bousquet PC and Koskie Minsky LLP are jointly acting on behalf of the plaintiff and the class in this action. The class action was commenced on September 18, 2020. Enterprise, National, and Alamo classify employees working in these positions as “managerial” and/or “supervisory” and do not pay them for their overtime hours. However, it is alleged in the claim that these employees have been “misclassified” and are actually entitled to overtime pay. In particular, employees working in these positions perform a substantial amount of non-managerial and non-supervisory work, including:
- Cleaning vehicles between customer bookings
- Checking customers into their vehicles
- Picking up vehicles from other locations
- Picking up and dropping off customers
- Working the front counter
- Organizing the branch office
This class action is brought on behalf of Branch Rental Managers, Assistant Branch Managers, Station Managers, and equivalent branch-level managers. The class includes employees who have worked in these positions at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent-A-Car branches at any time between January 1, 2010 and the present in the following provinces:
- British Columbia
- Alberta
- Saskatchewan
- Manitoba
- Ontario
- Nova Scotia
- Prince Edward Island
