Aldi has reached a proposed settlement of about $55 million with more than 30,000 workers in a class action. The claim alleges that employees were directed to perform work outside their rostered hours without pay. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the payments would resolve the workers’ allegations regarding underpayment connected to unpaid tasks performed beyond scheduled shifts. Both outlets describe the matter as involving instructions given to staff to work additional hours that were not included in rosters, leading to claims that Aldi breached wage and workplace obligations. The settlement is presented as a proposal, meaning it is subject to further legal steps before becoming final, including approval processes associated with class actions. The reporting does not state the breakdown of individual payments, admissions by Aldi, or whether any court findings have been made. The proposed settlement is intended to bring the dispute to an end for the group represented in the class action.
