Boeing Sued Over Alleged Underpayment of Overtime and Sick Leave

A proposed class action lawsuit claims that Boeing shortchanged its Washington state workers by failing to factor in bonuses and other non-discretionary compensation when calculating overtime and sick leave payments.

The suit, which was removed to federal court on Thursday, September 4, 2026, alleges that the company's failure to account for these benefits has resulted in underpayment of wages owed to employees.

The lawsuit targets Boeing's practice of excluding incentive pay from its overtime and sick leave calculations. According to the complaint, this omission is a violation of Washington state law, which requires employers to include all forms of compensation when determining overtime and sick leave payments.
