Rebecca Vollmer vs. Hicks Enrichment Resource Outreach Enlightenment Services, LLC, d/b/a H.E.R.O.E.S and Florence Rainey-Hicks
Rebecca Vollmer, on behalf of a class, sued H.E.R.O.E.S. and Florence Rainey-Hicks for unpaid overtime wages under the Missouri Minimum Wage Law. The parties reached a class action settlement, which the trial court approved after granting Plaintiffs' motion to enforce the settlement agreement. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, rejecting arguments that the trial court lacked authority to enter judgment against Rainey-Hicks individually and that H.E.R.O.E.S. was not bound by the agreement. The court also granted Plaintiffs' motion for attorney's fees on appeal and remanded for the trial court to determine the reasonable amount.
