An Ontario Superior Court judge has ruled against the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in an overtime class-action lawsuit filed more than a decade ago. Belobaba ruled CIBC's overtime policies and hours-of-work recording practices were unlawful and impeded overtime claims. The case filed in 2007 was the first class-action brought in Canada against the overtime policies of a major Canadian corporation. The Court of Appeal for Ontario certified in 2012 the lawsuit as a class action. "We believe we have effective overtime policies and practices in place, including a clear overtime policy that is easily accessible," said spokeswoman Trish Tervit.
