      Assist a client with a class action regarding unfair compensation practices. <\/h5>\n

      Our client, a national long-hauling trucking company, was facing a major California wage and hour class action brought forth by its drivers alleging unfair compensation practices including lack of meal and rest breaks. <\/p>\n

      iDS was tasked with:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Providing consulting services to assess the validity of plaintiffs\u2019 unfair wage and hour allegations<\/li>\n
      • Drafting an expert report and relation declarations in support of our findings and conclusions<\/li>\n
      • Delivering numerous rounds of data productions based on court and plaintiff requests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

        iDS was engaged to retrieve data to back up claims of non-work activity. <\/h5>\n

        iDS was chosen based on our relationship with the client and our deep experience in assisting other clients with similar issues. A project plan was drawn up to include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Understanding plaintiffs\u2019 claims and identifying the relevant data sources, including onboard computers, payroll records, driver logs, and compensation plans<\/li>\n
        • Collecting over 13 TB of data spanning 6,800 tables and 75 billion records from 9 different systems<\/li>\n
        • Ingesting this data into the xIOT\u00ae platform, allowing our team to efficiently analyze, enrich, and visualize fact patterns across disparate data sources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

          iDS demonstrated variations in compensation plans, leading to a class decertification ruling.<\/h5>\n

          Our data driven analysis successfully demonstrated wide variations in class members compensation plans, ultimately leading to a class decertification ruling just six weeks before trial. In addition, we delivered 12 rounds of data productions, ultimately comprising over 900 million records across 1,500 files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
