Statistical Sampling and Surveying

In some wage and hour and FLSA cases, analyzing the complete universe of employment and time records is infeasible. Survey techniques are used in these instances to determine how long the representative plaintiff reports working before clocking in or after clocking out for work. In cases where the time or cost of gathering the employment records is prohibitive, the use of sampling routines can be used to assist in the discovery process. We help:

* Develop surveys and assist with the drafting of declaration statements forms

* Construct and administer employee and class member surveys

* Design sampling routines

* Project off-the-clock and missed meal damages using statistical sampling routines

Experience

The members of the class reported an average of 10 minutes of off-the-clock work each day. The results of the survey are statistically significant. Based on the 99% confidence interval, the average employee performed between 7.5 and 12.5 minutes of off-the-clock work.

Wage and hour case
California

The defendant's supervisor time card edits did not unfairly deduct time from employees. A review of over 1.25 million time punch records shows that the supervisor edits were as likely to add time as to deduct it.
