Christensen, et al. v. Freedom Mortgage Company

Christensen, et al. v. Freedom Mortgage Company

Barkan Meizlish DeRose Cox, LLP has filed a lawsuit on behalf of call center agents who work for Freedom Mortgage Corporation in the District of New Jersey (Case No. 1:25-cv-01827) for violating federal and state wage laws. The lawsuit, titled Christensen, et al. v. Freedom Mortgage Corporation claims that employees were not paid properly for the time spent working off-the-clock before and during their shifts.

Freedom Mortgage requires employees to spend time booting up software and logging into programs before they are able to begin their work—time they couldn’t clock in for until after the process was complete. As a result, employees were not compensated for this prep time or for any overtime worked. Additionally, employees are expected to cut short their meal breaks to finish booting up their software and be ready to clock back in on time after their meal break.

If you’re a current or former employee of Freedom Mortgage who believes you’ve been affected by these practices, you may be eligible to join the lawsuit and seek compensation. For more information about this lawsuit, please see the Complaint HERE.
