| There is no shortage of AP and assorted other news articles when it comes to America's largest retailer. Walmart Settles Huge Overtime Case January 26, 2007, 1:27 PM PST Wal-Mart will pay 33 (m) million dollars in back wages to thousands of employees. It had turned itself in to the Labor Department for paying too little in overtime, according to the agreement announced by the government. Department official Steven Mandel says the case, involving nearly 87-thousand employees, resulted from Wal-Mart coming to the department in early 2005 and asking for a review of its overtime calculations. Mandel says the settlement is one of the largest ever reached by the department's wage and hour division. The national review of all Wal-Mart stores took place over two-years beginning in February 2005. The settlement was approved today by a federal judge in Arkansas, the retailer's home state. The highest award to an individual employee is said to have been about 39-thousand dollars.
