Magazine publisher Conde Nast obtained preliminary court approval of its $5.85 million settlement of a lawsuit that alleged that thousands of individuals should have been paid at least the minimum wage for time they spent as interns for magazines owned and managed by Conde Nast.
The settlement is expected to cover more than 7,000 former interns. The settlement, which will be subject to a hearing and final approval, follows a decision by Conde Nast a year ago to discontinue its internship program. The case is Ballinger, et al. v. Advanced Magazine Publishers, Inc., No. 13-04036 (S.D. N.Y.)
The proper classification of interns continues to be a significant issue for employers in the U.S. You should carefully review how you classify interns working for your company.
