Sony Image Production Employee Overtime Litigation

On February 14, 2005, Andrew Wilson, a Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. (“Sony”) employee, filed a class action lawsuit against Sony, claiming that Sony has failed to comply with California labor laws requiring it to pay overtime. Wilson seeks to represent a class of employees including "animators", "modelers", "texture artists", "computer graphics artists", "lighters", "visual effects artists", "environmental artists", and employees performing similar functions, who worked at Sony at any time from February 11, 2001 to the present. The complaint seeks to obtain past due overtime compensation for these employees, as well as statutory penalties. In addition, the case seeks to require Sony to pay these employees for overtime worked in the future.
