Hagens Berman LLP Investigating Major Home Building Companies over Potential Violations of Fair Labor Standards Act

Seattle – Sept. 9, 2011 – The law firm Hagens Berman today announced that it is investigating several major home building companies, including PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM), Lennar Corp. (NYSE: LEN), D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) and KB Home (NYSE: KBH) for possible violations of various state and federal labor laws.

According to reports, the Department of Labor has launched an investigation to assess possible violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which governs issues including minimum wage and overtime pay.

A number of employee-rights groups have questioned the employment practices of these large developers, accusing them of pressuring subcontractors to exploit workers, forcing unpaid overtime or paying inadequate wages.

Hagens Berman has filed cases against Pulte Homes and other homebuilders in past years, calling into question the companies’ marketing, financing and appraisal practices.

Hagens Berman is interested in talking to workers employed by PulteGroup, Lennar Corp., D.R. Horton or KB Home, or those employed by subcontractors working for these companies who believe that their employer may have violated labor laws
