Home Depot Seeks Dismissal of Moonlighting Class Action Lawsuit

Home Depot has filed a motion to dismiss a class action lawsuit alleging its policies on outside employment violate Washington state law. The suit was brought by an employee who claims the company's restrictions on moonlighting are too restrictive.

The employee, who is seeking to represent a class of current and former Home Depot employees in Washington, alleges that the company's policies prohibit them from taking on second jobs without permission.

Home Depot argues that the employee failed to meet the requirements for filing a collective action under federal law. The company claims that the employee did not provide sufficient evidence that other employees would be affected by the alleged violations of state law.
