All of Robert Half, Inc.’s (formerly Robert Half International, Inc.) California- based Temporary employees who attended at least one uncompensated interview with one of Robert Half’s clients anytime since May 31, 2024 may be part of this lawsuit
Jessica Gentry worked for Robert Half in California as a temporary employee. She sued Robert Half for failing to pay for time spent preparing for and interviewing with Robert Half’s clients. Ms. Gentry alleges that, in connection with these interviews, Robert Half failed to (1) pay minimum wage, (2) pay overtime, (3) provide proper wage statements, and (4) timely pay wages upon termination. The lawsuit seeks money for current and former temporary employees who were not paid for preparation and interview time.
Robert Half denies all of Plaintiff’s claims, asserts that it has complied with the law, and denies that Plaintiff or the class are entitled to any damages or penalties that Plaintiff seeks in this lawsuit. The Court has not yet resolved the merits of the class claims listed above, nor determined whether Plaintiff’s or Robert Half’s contentions are true. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims at trial, which is set for November 3, 2025.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT | |
Do Nothing | By doing nothing, you keep the possibility of getting money from this lawsuit, however, you do give up your right to sue Robert Half separately over claims regarding unpaid interview time. A judgment in this lawsuit, whether favorable or not, will bind all Class members who do not request exclusion. If you decide to stay in this lawsuit and you so desire, you may enter an appearance through your counsel. However, you also can do nothing and rely on Class Counsel to pursue your claims as a Class member. |
Request to Be Excluded | The court will exclude you from the Class if you request exclusion by July 1, 2024. If you request exclusion and money or any other benefit is later awarded in this lawsuit, you will have no right to any portion of it; however, you can seek to bring your own lawsuit against Robert Half for claims regarding unpaid interview time. |
