Hannaford Pays $9M for Overtime Shortfalls | Portland Maine News

Hannaford Supermarkets is settling a class-action lawsuit for nearly $9 million, covering unpaid overtime for middle managers across Maine, New York, and Massachusetts from 2018 to 2024. The case, sparked by a former bakery manager in Lewiston, led the company to reclassify roles and start paying managers for overtime — a move they say was about morale and retention. While Hannaford claims its classifications were always legal, the settlement includes $10K for the lead plaintiff and $5K each for three others, with the rest going to legal fees. It’s a major win for workers who logged extra hours without compensation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
