located within judicial district of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Mississippi.
REQUEST FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION UNDER FEDFERAL RULE OFCIVIL PROCEDURE 23
8. The Plaintiffs, on behalf of those similarly-situated, seek certification as the
class representatives for a class action lawsuit, under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
9. The class sought to be certified under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, with the Plaintiffs as the class representatives, is all of those current and former
Vivint employees who have been victimized by the deceptive, intentional, fraudulent,
unconscionable, and dishonest (and/or grossly-negligent) practice of Vivint of being
promised a raise in hourly-pay (typically, $1 per hour) upon the completion of employee
"field training" and who, then, did not receive this pay-increase. Further, a second, separate
class sought to be certified under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in this
litigation, with the Plaintiffs as the class representatives, is all of those former Vivint
employees who have been wrongly terminated (typically for fabricated, pretextual reasons)
by Vivint out of retaliation for seeking the back-pay owed by Vivint for the raises promised,
but never actually given.
10. The Plaintiffs, as the prospective class representatives, and the prospective
members of this/these class(es), under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, have shared
similar injuries, and have suffered from similar forms of financial injury as a sole and
proximate result of the deceptive, intentional, fraudulent, unconscionable, and dishonest
COMPLAINT Page 3 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 4 of 16
(and/or grossly-negligent) practice of Vivint of being falsely-promised a raise in hourly-pay
(typically, $1 per hour) upon the completion of employee "field training.
11. Further, the Plaintiffs, as the prospective class representatives, and the
prospective members of this/these class(es), under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, have
shared similar injuries, and have suffered from similar forms of financial injury as those
former Vivint employees who have, likewise, been wrongly-terminated (typically for
fabricated, pretextual reasons) by Vivint out of retaliation for seeking the back-pay owed by
Vivint for the raises promised, but never actually given.
12. Specifically, as relates to the appropriated of this proposed class certification
under Rule 23(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Defendants have acted
and/or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class, making appropriate
declaratory and injunctive reliefwith respect to the Plaintiffs, and the class(es) as a whole.
The proposed class members are entitled to injunctive relief to end the Defendants'
common, uniform, malicious, and deceptive employee-wage and retaliatory-discharge
practices.
13. Further, the proposed class is so numerous that joinder would be
impracticable. Although the precise number of members of the proposed class is currently
unknown, this number is far greater than can be feasibly addressed through joinder.
14. The class members of the proposed class also share common questions of fact
and law. Among these common questions of fact are law are: (1) whether the Defendants'
wage and hour policies or practices, as relate to the granting of promised raises for the
completion of "field training" by Vivint are deceptive, unlawful, unconscionable, dishonest,
COMPLAINT Page 4 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 5 of 16
and fraudulent; (2) whether Vivint has engaged in a pattern and practice of wrongly-
terminating its employees who raise questions regarding payment of "field training" wage-
increases based on a motive of malicious retaliation; and (3) whether monetary damages,
injunctive relief, and/or other equitable remedies for the class are warranted.
15. The Plaintiffs, the proposed class representatives, have suffered injuries, and
have claims, that are typical of all current and/or former employees (victims) of the
deceptive, dishonest, and retaliatory labor practices pleaded in this Complaint.
16. The Plaintiffs, as the proposed class representatives (the Class Plaintiffs), will
fairly and adequately represent and protect the interests of the members of the class(es).
FACTS
17. On or about October 2012, Plaintiff Haile began his employment with
Vivint's Jackson, Miss. location as a security-system-installer for that company.
18. According to the terms of his employment with Vivint, Plaintiff Haile would
start this employment at an hourly wage of $12.00/per hour.
19. Also, consistent with the nationwide company-policy ofVivint, the various
managers who supervised Plaintiff Haile on behalf ofVivint promised Plaintiff Haile (along
with every other employee of Vivint at the Jackson, Miss, location of the Defendant) that he
would receive a $1.00/per hour raise as soon as he completed his field training with that
company.
20. Plaintiff Haile did successfully complete his Vivint field training on or about
November 2012.
COMPLAINT Page 5 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 6 of 16
21. However, despite being owed, at a minimum, this $1.00/per hour raise from
Vivint since November 2012, Vivint did not begin paying Plaintiff Haile the extra $1.00/per
hour for his successful completion of Vivint's field training until 1.5 years later,
approximately in May 2013.
22. From the period of November 2012 when Plaintiff Haile first successfully
completed his Vivint field training until May 2013, Plaintiff Haile continuously asked
about, and otherwise demanded, payment of the $1.00/per hour raise that he had been
entitled to since November 2012.
23. Throughout the employment of Plaintiff Haile with Vivint, his managers and
supervisors were constantly changing. Plaintiff Haile asked, and otherwise demanded, the
$1.00/per hour raise to which he was entitled to each of his supervisors at Vivint.
24. Finally, in May of 2013, Plaintiff Haile had finally had enough and raised his
long-running concerns about the dishonest and deceptive wage-policies (broken promises) at
an Mississippi-Vivint meeting attended by all security-systems-installers for that region of
Vivint.
25. During this May 2013 company meeting attended in-person by: Plaintiff
Haile, PlaintiffBlackwell, Marcus (last name currently unknown), Dewain (last name
currently unknown), Leslie Nelson, Traumone Patton, three other security-system-installers
whose identities are not currently known, Shawn (last name unknown; was District Manager
for Vivint in May 2013), and Gary Maisenel Plaintiff Haile publicly raised the issue of the
$1.00/per hour raise that had been promised to all security-system-installers who have
successfully completed Vivint field training, but which no one had actually been paid.
COMPLAINT Page 6 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 7 of 16
26. During this same May 2013 meeting, several other security-system-installers
employed by Vivint stated that they suffered from the exact same broken promises regarding
wages by Vivint.
27. Shawn (last name unknown; the District Manager ofVivint's Jackson, Miss.
region in May 2013), during this meeting, stated that he would "look into the situation."
28. Next, three-to-four days following the above-described meeting, Shawn (the
then-District Manager) called Plaintiff Haile and told Plaintiff Haile that: (1) Plaintiff Haile
would begin receiving his now-overdue raise of $1.00/per hour beginning immediately; (2)
that all back-pay owed by Vivint to Plaintiff Halle for the 1.5 years that he worked without
receiving the raise to which he had been entitled this entire time would promptly be paid to
Plaintiff Haile; and (3) that all overtime payments made by Vivint to Haile would be re-
adjusted to reflect the $13.00/per hour (and not $12.00/per hour) base-rate of pay upon
which all overtime calculations were based.
29. Then, four weeks later (not immediately), Plaintiff Haile received his first
paycheck reflecting the new hourly-wage of $13.00/per hour that had been owed since
November 2012.
30. Exactly one-month after Plaintiff Haile finally began receiving the long-
overdue hourly base wage of $13.00/per hour, Haile reached out to his former District
Manager, Shawn, again to discuss these continuing payment problems with Vivint.
31. During this telephone conversation, when pressed on the back-pay and
overtime-adjustments owed to Plaintiff Haile, District Manager, Shawn, gave Haile the
COMPLAINT Page 7 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 8 of 16
runaround. Finally, District Manager, Shawn, admitted to Haile that Vivint was not willing to
pay any back-pay or overtime-adjustments.
32. Without providing any further explanation, (then) District Manager, Shawn,
simply stated "we (Vivint) can't do that (pay back-pay and the corrected overtime amounts,
as promised)."
33. For the next (approximately) year-and-a-half Plaintiff Haile continuously
raised these same complaints and demands with his constantly-changing supervisors at
Vivint.
34. For the next (approximately) year-and-a-half Plaintiff Haile continuously was
told by Vivint that the situation would be corrected and that Plaintiff Haile simply needed
to be patient and allow the situation to be fixed internally at Vivint.
35. The above representations about correcting Plaintiff Haile's, and the other
security-installers' back-pay and overtime wages, from Vivint and its management turned out
to be false, deceptive, and either grossly-negligent or malicious.
36. Finally, after continuing to raise his legal demands about these long-running
wage-deceptions with Vivint management, Plaintiff Haile, on or about May 6, 2015, received
a telephone call from his (then) Manager at Vivint (this person, whose identity is currently
unknown, was serving as the "Acting Manager" for the Jackson, Miss., region ofVivint in
May 2015, and he worked out of a Vivint office in Alabama). During this peculiar, surprise,
telephone call, the Acting District Manager for the Jackson, Miss., region ofVivint told
Plaintiff Haile that he needed to meet him early, that morning, at the Hilton hotel located on
County Line Road in Jackson, Miss.
COMPLAINT Page 8 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 9 of 16
37. During this peculiar, surprise, early-morning meeting, the Acting District
Manager ofVivint began by making small-talk. Then, moments later, and out of nowhere,
this Acting District Manager added: "By the way, we (Vivint) are letting you go."
38. When asked why he was being fired by Vivint, Plaintiff Haile was told by this
Acting District Manager the following lie: "Because we (Vivint) were following you, and you
didn't show up to your job."
39. The true motive for the (wrongful) termination of Plaintiff Haile was
malicious and unlawful retaliation for Haile continuing to push the issues of the owed pack-
pay and owed overtime adjustments that Vivint owed to Haile, and to the other security-
system-installers at the Jackson, Miss., region of Vivint, and perhaps nationwide.
40. The stated reason for Vivint's (wrongful) termination of Plaintiff constituted a
knowing lie on the part ofVivint.
41. Second-named Plaintiff, Blackwell, another former employee ofVivint,
suffered from a nearly, if not completely, identical set of facts as Plaintiff Haile at the hands
of Vivint.
42. Plaintiff Blackwell, whose exact dates of employment will be illuminated in the
discovery process of this litigation, identical to Plaintiff Haile: (1) is owed significant back-
pay for the $1.00/per hour raise he was never given for successfully completing Vivint field
training; (2) is owed significant overtime-adjustments related to the willful or grossly-
negligent failure of Vivint to pay the promised $1.00/per hour raise following Plaintiff
Blackwell's successful completion of Vivint field training; and (3) was maliciously and
unlawfully terminated, out of retaliation (identical to Plaintiff Haile), for fabricated reasons,
COMPLAINT Page 9 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 10 of 16
due to Plaintiff Blackwell's insistence that he receive the compensation that Vivint had
promised him, but had failed to pay.
43. The Plaintiffs have suffered severe fmancial damages that were solely and
proximately caused by grossly-negligent, dishonest, deceptive, malicious, and/or retaliatory
actions pleaded in this Complaint.

knowing, and repeated, violations of the FLSA's requirement to pay overtime at 1.5 times
the true base hourly wage for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
46. Vivint's management even went so far as to acknowledge to the Plaintiffs that
such overtime-adjustments were legally owed to the Plaintiffs, along with all other security-
system-installers working in the Jackson, Miss., region of Vivint.
47. Nonetheless, Vivint knowingly failed to pay these overtime wages that it knew,

training.
52. The above wrongful acts have solely and proximately caused the Plaintiffs
severe financial damages, and they have caused a financial windfall for Vivint.
53. BASED UPON THE ABOVE-PLEADED ALLEGATIONS, the Plaintiffs,
on behalf of themselves and all of those similarly situated, demand that they, as the Class
Representatives, be awarded damages in an amount that shall be proved to finder-of-fact at

COUNT THREE BREACHES OF CONTRACT (EXPRESS WARRANTIES)
54. The Plaintiffs incorporate by reference all allegations of all previous
paragraphs and further alleges as follows:
55. Vivint has committed systemic, continual, repeated, knowing, intentional, and
malicious misrepresentations of express promises of pay-increases and overtime-
adjustments, as pleaded in this Complaint, above. In particular, Vivint has engaged in a
pattern of deceptive, fraudulent, and dishonest wage-practices related to its false-promises to
give pay-raises to its security-system-installation employees once they complete their field
training, as pleaded in this Complaint.
56. The above violations of express contractual terms have solely and proximately
caused the Plaintiffs severe financial damages.
57. BASED UPON THE ABOVE-PLEADED ALLEGATIONS, the Plaintiffs,
on behalf of themselves and all of those similarly situated, demand that they, as the Class
Representatives, be awarded damages in an amount that shall be proved to finder-of-fact at
trial. However, these pleaded-damages include, but are not limited to: actual damages,
compensatory damages, punitive damages (in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00), all

paragraphs and further alleges as follows:
COMPLAINT Page 13 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 14 of 16
59. Vivint has, in a gross, wanton, reckless, and unconscionable manner, violated
the standard of care that they owed to the Plaintiffs, when they failed to pay its security-
system-instnller employees the $1.00/per hour raise that Vivint promised them as of the date
of their successful completion, respectively, of Vivint field training, as well as failing to make
the promised overtime-adjustments for these employees based upon the higher base-rate(s)
of hourly-wages that should have been used as the inputs by Vivint for these overtime-
calculations.
60. The above (gross and wanton) violations of the standard of care owed by
Vivint to the Plaintiffs have solely and proximately caused the Plaintiffs severe financial
damages.
61. BASED UPON THE ABOVE-PLEADED ALLEGATIONS, the Plaintiffs,
on behalf of themselves and all of those similarly situated, demand that they, as the Class
Representatives, be awarded damages in an amount that shall be proved to finder-of-fact at
trial. However, these pleaded-damages include, but are not limited to: actual damages,
compensatory damages, punitive damages (in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00), all
attorneys' fees, all costs of litigation, expenses, all legal pre and post-judgment interest, and
all other relief that the Court finds to be just and equitable under the facts to be proven at
COUNT FIVE WRONGFUL TERMINATION (RETALIATORY DISCHARGE).
62. The Plaintiffs incorporate by reference all allegations of all previous
paragraphs and further alleges as follows:
COMPLAINT Page 14 of 16
Case 3:16-cv-00873-HTW-LRA Document 1 Filed 11/07/16 Page 15 of 16
63. Vivint unlawfully, maliciously, and out of vengeful retaliation for being
exposed for its unlawful wage-practices toward its security-system-installers, pleased above in
this Complaint, wrongly terminated the Plaintiffs.
64. Further, to whitewash this tortious and wrongful termination, Vivint
fabricated knowingly false pretexts to fire the Plaintiffs, along with an unknown number of
other similarly-situated security-system-installer employees around the United States.
65. The true reason that the Plaintiffs were fired by Vivint is that they continued
to make demands for their legal rights to be paid lawfully under the FLSA, and as promised
by Vivint. Such demands bring these Plaintiffs under the Mc/Irn1 (and its progency)
exceptions to the at-will employment principles under Mississippi state law.
66. BASED UPON THE ABOVE-PLEADED ALLEGATIONS, the Plaintiffs,
on behalf of themselves and all of those similarly situated, demand that they, as the Class
Representatives, be awarded damages in an amount that shall be proved to finder-of-Eact at

compensatory damages, punitive damages (in an amount not less than $5,000,000.00), 211
attorneys' fees, all costs of litigation, expenses, all legal pre and post-judgment interest, and
