EA Image Production Employee Overtime Litigation

On July 29, 2004, Jamie Kirschenbaum, an Electronic Arts, Inc. (“EA”) employee, filed a class action lawsuit against EA, claiming that EA has failed to comply with California labor laws requiring it to pay overtime. Kirschenbaum seeks to represent a class of employees including “animators,” “modelers,” “texture artists,” “lighters,” “background effects artists,” “special effects artists” and “environmental artists,” who worked at EA at any time from July 29, 2000 to the present. The complaint seeks to obtain past due overtime compensation for these employees, as well as statutory penalties. In addition, the case seeks to require EA to pay these employees for overtime worked in the future.
