A federal judge in California found Apple guilty in a case of defrauding more than 15,000 employees.

The plaintiffs alleged that they had to go through security checks after their shifts ended. Security checks, under U.S. law, must be paid as overtime. Apple, on the other hand, refused to compensate employees for time spent.

Interestingly, last year Walmart Inc and Amazon faced similar lawsuits. Thus, the court ordered Amazon to pay $ 8.7 million to 42 thousand workers in the warehouses. Apple, in turn, is obliged to pay $ 30.5 million.
