Fair Employment Project

FEP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We receive no government funding.  We need your support to continue serving Massachusetts workers.

Donations can be made by credit card or PayPal.  Or mail a donation to Fair Employment Project, 777 Concord Avenue, Suite 302, Cambridge, MA 02138.

Fair Employment Project is pleased to report that we have been the recipient of cy pres awards (unclaimed funds) in recent years arising out of workplace class and collective actions.  We have received, for example:

$40,000 from a class action brought by satellite-dish installers owed unpaid wages and overtime under Massachusetts and New York wage and hour laws, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. 

$17,000 from a class action settlement brought by hourly workers against a nationwide retailer that allegedly rounded employee start and end times in way that systematically benefited the employer.  

$10,000 from a class action settlement brought by a Massachusetts home health agency’s employees who traveled between clients' homes without being paid for intraday travel time.

$2,000 from a class action for unpaid wages and overtime against a car dealership in Massachusetts.
