Two LAUSD teachers sue over payroll glitches
ve been underpaid, a violation of labor laws, as a result of the district's troubled payroll system.
Elizabeth Forsberg, a teacher, and Dawn Amenta, an aide, work at El Camino Real High School and say in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit that they have been repeatedly underpaid, meaning they have been earning less than minimum wage.
District officials had no comment on the suit. Spokeswoman Susan Cox said officials in the district's legal department were unavailable late Tuesday. Officials with Deloitte Consulting, the district's payroll contractor - which is also named in the lawsuit - could not be reached for comment.
Teachers and other district employees "have not agreed to work for a lesser wage than the legal minimum wage," the lawsuit says. "Defendant LAUSD has failed and refused, and continues to fail and refuse, to pay for all hours worked as required by California wage and hour laws."
