FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. / Federal Express Corporation

About This Case

We filed numerous cases in New York State Court on behalf of delivery drivers in New York for unpaid overtime wages under the New York State Labor Law against FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., now Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), and/or its third-party contractors.  

Generally, delivery drivers in these cases have brought overtime claims under the New York Labor Law for unpaid overtime wages because:  

 The driver: (1) drove a small vehicle (which is a vehicle with a Gross Motor Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,001 pounds), (2) worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, and (3) wasn’t paid an overtime premium for all hours worked over 40 in the workweek. Drivers may have claims even if they were paid a a flat, day-rate. For example, a driver who worked 5 days and was paid $900 (or $180/day) and worked 50 hours with no overtime premium is due premium overtime pay for the additional 10 hours of work. In some cases, where the driver was paid on an hourly basis, the employer failed to accurately track all of the hours worked so the driver was shorted pay. 

 or,   

 The driver (1) drove a vehicle with a Gross Motor Vehicle Weight Rating of 10,001 pounds or greater, (2) worked more than 40 hours in a workweek; and (3) was paid less than a New York State minimum wage worker. For example, if a driver in Syracuse, New York, was paid $800 for a 55-hour workweek in 2025, the driver was underpaid and is owed an additional $137.50 for that workweek. The reason is that New York law requires that the employer pay the driver at least that of a minimum wage worker. Based on a $15/hour rate, the driver should have been paid $937.50 (40 hours per week X $15 (minimum wage rate) + 15 (overtime hours) X $22.50 (time and a half the minimum wage rate)). 

We have an active case pending in Jefferson County Supreme Court against the contractor, New York Pinstripes, Inc. 

Regardless of the weight of the vehicle you drive, If you worked as a delivery driver in New York State within the last six years, please contact us and we will help you evaluate whether you have a claim for unpaid overtime wages and potentially double or liquidated damages.
