Gibbons Jones, P.C. has brought a lawsuit on behalf of Quality Supervisors who are or were employed by Talecris Plasma Resources, Inc. at any of its U.S. locations.  According to the Complaint, Talecris violated federal wage and hour laws by failing to pay overtime wages to Quality Supervisors as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act.  Talecris collects human plasma at its centers throughout the United States.

The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on March 18, 2010.  Plaintiffs’ attorney, Phil Gibbons, stated, “Quality Supervisors who work for Talecris have been misclassified as exempt from the overtime requirements of the FLSA.  The plasma collection industry is subject to strict federal and state regulatory guidelines.  Talecris maintains standard operating procedures (“SOPs”), which set forth detailed procedural protocol by which Quality Supervisors perform their job duties.   Because Quality Supervisors must strictly adhere to the SOPs in the performance of their job duties, they do not exercise sufficient independent judgment and discretion to be exempt from overtime pay.”
