So i guess you are either not with Novartis (current or past) or you informed the company that you do not want the settlement?

Becareful talkikng about principles, because you are on here during work hrs posting to a bs website and collecting money from an employer who is technically paying you while you screw off. That my friend lacks principles. So get off you jealous high horse.

W.....R.....O.....N.....G !!!!!!!! How wrong you are. Read the following from Fierce Pharma and Bloomberg. GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!

1. No overtime for pharma reps, Supreme Court says




By Tracy Staton

The Supreme Court has spoken to pharma reps. In a split decision, the justices ruled that drugmakers don't have to pay overtime to salespeople. It's a landmark ruling that will send a lot of lawsuits to the rubbish bin. It will also save Big Pharma hundreds of millions, if not billions, of back overtime pay.

The Court smashed the argument that pharma reps aren't actually "outside salespeople" as defined by wage-and-hour laws. Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the court's opinion, stated that reps' essential goal was to drive prescription growth, not simply educate doctors about a company's products. And that means they're outside salespeople, regardless of the fact that they don't close sales.

It was a 5-4 vote, split along ideological lines, so that opinion wasn't shared by all the justices. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Stephen Breyer pointed out that pharma reps don't "take orders," and nor do they "consummate a sale" (as quoted by Bloomberg).

So, the last avenue for sales rep overtime is now closed. As Reuters points out, a U.S. Appeals Court upheld the administrative exemption last month, in a separate case against Eli Lilly ($LLY) and Abbott Laboratories ($ABT). Yesterday's ruling came in a case filed by GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) reps.

A who's who in pharma has fought one of these overtime cases, and more were expected to be filed if the court had ruled the other way. The ruling won't affect Novartis' overtime settlement, just affirmed by a judge, which requires the company to distribute $99 million in back overtime to some 7,000 reps.

Supreme Court Ruling Does NOT Affect Novartis Lawsuit!!! BUUWAWAWAWAWAWA!

Why do you say that?

There is still opportunity for recourse. I would not spend that OT money yet. This one is far from over.

You are wrong douchbag Novartis would be in breach & can be sued for not negotiating in good faith so pay up SUCKA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Swiss drugmaker Novartis in January agreed to pay $99 million to settle a similar overtime lawsuit. That settlement came after the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled sales representatives were not exempt, a holding that the Supreme Court has now rejected.

The ruling will not effect the Novartis settlement, which has received final court approval. But the company applauded the Supreme Court decision."

Don't worry... you LEECHES will probably get paid, but NO MORE there after. The final laugh is on you SOCIALISTS. It will NEVER happen again. LOL!!!!! It's over Johnny.... IT'S OVER!!! LOL!!!!

The $99 million was worth it... it was a small price to pay to get rid of you.

I work for Novartis... where do you work? This US Supreme Court Decision impacts so much more than just Novartis. It is a VICTORY for America and a HUGE defeat for Socialist, LEECH, Scumbags.

OK

The court hearing end of may confirmed settlement for overtime pay to NVS reps who opted in to lawsuit. There is NO legal means for NVS to get out of the settlement as Supreme court ruling doesn't have anything too do with NVS case.

The case was settled well before the supreme court ruling and it has no bearing on our case.

For those who think its a socialist idea to get PAID for overtime you should get the proper meaning for the word.

Its a socialist regime when all the workers good and bad get the same compensation for their work and hours. By having NVS pay for reps time when they were REQUIRED to do more that 40 hrs/week is not SOCIALIST as others like you who march to the company tune and be a good little employee!

I will cash my check, go on a nice vacation with my family and think of you working with your 5 calls/day, computer BS, quotas, late payouts, and constant fear of layoffs!

FYI, So you know, the reps who still work at Novartis got an email from Sr Management about the court ruling. They said it would not affect the settlement that was agreed to.

Just so you know.... all of us who actually work for Novartis already read that email moron. What is your point? You can have your LEECH-MONEY, but the Supreme Court ruled "Never Again" my socialist friend.... never again will such stupidity be allowed. I am sure from Novartis' perspective, the payout was worth every penny to rid itself of the non-working, clock-punching, union-mentality morons who worked for this company. Na Na Na Na.... Na Na Na Na.... Hey Hey Hey..... GoodBye!!!!!

Why the hostility bucko? Methinks you protest too much. I would bet you are shaking in your tiny little boots because you are afraid that big bad Novartis will find out you took the few thousand dollars and you will have to explain your rants. Just move on.

I absolutely LOVE the angry/whiny posts I see here defending Novartis.

Sort of reminds me of the inmates locking their own cells at night

To all the novartis supporters, lets see if your opinion changes this fall when Novartis goes through another layoff. This will be the first Christmas in 5 years the holiday is not tainted with threats by my employer. And yes I am employed, had the job lined up immediately.

To Mr. NA NA NA NA, Hey Hey Goodbye Overtime,

Wrong Again!

Apparently you are one of the self-serving MOrons this company employed and you hide your descrepencies and inefficiencies by bashing everyone else. You are the type that would throw your team under the bus to try and "brown your nose" with upper management.

Now, have that envelope stamped and ready to mail your OT check back to Joe and Dan, the millionaires, gloating on how you are a righteous and loyal employee and that you feel they are more deserving of the money than you.

By the way MORON, "YOU HAVE BEEN WRONG ALL ALONG!" With that, everyone you have come in contact with knows that, including Novartis. Man Up Little Boy!
