She spent her days serving up Happy Meals, but when it came time to get
paid, Natalie Gunshannon says a local McDonald's franchisee gave her an
unhappy deal.
The Shavertown McDonald's forces workers to be paid only one way: with a
payroll debit card that burdens workers with hefty fees to obtain their
hard-earned cash, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday on behalf of
Ms. Gunshannon and other McDonald's workers.
Ms. Gunshannon, 27, Dallas Twp., and an untold number of current and
former employees had no option to receive a traditional paycheck or get
paid by direct deposit, she and her attorneys said in the class-action
against franchise owners Albert and Carol Mueller of Clarks Summit.
Ms. Gunshannon, who worked at the Shavertown McDonald's for a month
after being hired April 24, refused to activate the payroll card after
reviewing the fee structure, quit the job and reached out to an attorney
to see if the practice was legal.
The J.P. Morgan Chase payroll card carries fees for nearly every type of
transaction, according to the lawsuit, including a $1.50 charge for ATM
withdrawals, $5 for over-the-counter cash withdrawals, $1 to check the
balance, 75 cents per online bill payment and $10 per month if the card
is left inactive for more than three months.
