An Ontario judge has approved a revised agreement which will allow 1,600 employees of Scotiabank receive $ 20.6 million for overtime for which they were not paid. The judge, Edward Belobaba of the Superior Court of Ontario, said he will release his reasoning in coming weeks. A class action against Scotiabank was originally settled in 2014, and since that time, nearly $ 18.7 million has been distributed among 600 members of the appeal. But 1,600 of the 2,200 employees who had filed a claim had them reduced or rejected. These people will now share the 20.6 million. The bank is said to have paid another 12.5 million in legal costs to come to these two agreements.
