Best Buy might have failed to provide an in-state pay check to California employees, requiring them to incur a fee to cash their pay check.

This class action lawsuit against Best Buy, a large consumer electronics retail chain located in California and throughout the United States.

This class action lawsuit, filed on April 10, 2006, alleges that defendant Best Buy Stores issued paychecks to its California employees without providing the name and address of an in state bank or some other location where employees could cash their paychecks for face value at no cost. California law requires employers to provide notice on each paycheck of a place in California where the check may be cashed without a charge or waiting period.

If the employee does not have direct deposit and the employee's paycheck does not have printed on the check the address of a bank or other location in California where the employee can cash his or her paycheck without paying a fee, the employee may be entitled to recover a penalty and all amounts paid to cash their paychecks over the past four years.

This class action lawsuit seeks to recover the check cashing fees and penalties on behalf of current and former employees of Best Buy Stores.
