Read on to learn more about the case background, settlement benefits, eligibility criteria, key deadlines, and how Sparrow streamlines the claims process.
Commission conflicts at Go Wireless: What sparked the lawsuit?
Go Wireless, recently acquired by Victra in 2022, faced allegations that it systematically underpaid its commission-based employees. The class action lawsuit claimed that the company:
- Failed to fully pay commissions when employees left the company
- Withheld earned commissions during periods when employees took time off
- Violated its own commission policies
- Violated state labor laws in Nevada and California
Employees in various positions, including wireless consultants, assistant store managers, and store managers, argued that Go Wireless’ actions effectively denied them compensation they had rightfully earned. Despite these allegations, Go Wireless denies any wrongdoing but chose to settle for $13 million to avoid prolonged litigation and provide prompt compensation to affected employees.
The lawsuit underscores critical issues around employment fairness, emphasizing employers’ obligations to transparently and adequately compensate their commission-based workforce.
