NOTICE: If you are a current or former employee of Waste Management, Inc. and have been required to perform work “off the clock,” please contact the Arnold Law Firm at (916) 777-7777 to discuss your legal options.
Our law firm is currently investigating claims on behalf of current and former employees of Waste Management, Inc. (“WMI”) for unpaid wages. Specifically, we are exploring experiences where employees worked in a Waste Management office (nationwide) and were required to spend time working prior to clocking in at the beginning of shifts, or had their time cards altered to reduce working hours. This applies to those that worked from home or a remote location due to COVID-19, and were asked to spend time working prior to clocking in at the beginning of a shift, including logging in to a computer system.
If you have worked as a WMI employee and this happened to you, especially if you live in California, we are interested in speaking with you about your experience. Employees of WMI nationwide who have worked “off the clock” may have a significant claim for unpaid overtime wages. Employees in California may have additional claims and penalties that apply if they are owed unpaid overtime.
WMI describes itself as North America’s leading provider of comprehensive waste management environmental services, providing services throughout the United States and Canada. WMI partners with its residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers and the communities they serve to manage and reduce waste at each stage from collection to disposal, while recovering valuable resources and creating clean, renewable energy.
WMI’s “Solid Waste” business is operated and managed locally by its subsidiaries that focus on distinct geographic areas and provide collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling and resource recovery services. Through its subsidiaries, WMI is also a leading developer, operator and owner of landfill gas-to-energy facilities in the U.S. It employed approximately 48,250 people as of December 31, 2020. WMI owns or operates 268 landfill sites, which is the largest network of landfills in the U.S. and Canada. WMI manages 348 transfer stations that consolidate, compact and transport waste. WMI also uses waste to create energy, recovering the gas produced naturally as waste decomposes in landfills and using the gas in generators to make electricity. WMI is a leading recycler in the U.S. and Canada, handling materials that include cardboard, paper, glass, plastic and metal. It provides recycling programs for municipalities, businesses and households across the U.S. and Canada as well as other services that supplement its Solid Waste business.

I really love that law firm. They were on their job. They took care of me very well, and I highly recommend that law firm for any of your doings. I just wanna thank Josh and his crew for helping me all that they have. Done for me and my family.
Thank you to the Staff at Arnold Law Firm! This was my 3rd time using their services for different needs. Each time has been a smooth, honest and professional experience. They have provided me with guidance & consulting services to reach a positive outcome. Each time I have been pleasantly surprised! Thank you Arnold Law Firm! 🤗
A very special Thank You to Sal, Dominic & Jeff! 🤗🤗🤗
They always keep me up to date on my case. I also felt it was done in a timely manner!
Arnold Law firm provided me with an amazing experience. They were super communicative and assisted me with any needs or questions that I had during my journey to recovery and through financial hardship due to my car accident. I was hit by an uninsured motorist and would have been completely overwhelmed by all of the bills, paperwork, insurance nuances, and legal action needed. Jesus Garcia was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Met with a lawyer who is taking care of my wife's potential lawsuit. He was nice and his assistant is really on top of things.I'd recommend them if you need representation. No upfront costs and reasonable expectations when suit is settled.
