A third Canadian banking institution nows finds itself in the cross-hairs of Canadian class action lawyers on the basis of unpaid overtime allegations.

Filed on February 8, 2010, the Rosen v. BMO Nesbitt Burns lawsuit seeks compensation for unpaid overtime for Investment Advisors and Financial Advisers going back to 2002.

The suit was filed in the Ontario Superior Court by Juroviesky and Ricci LLP in Toronto. This firm appears to not be part group of law firms  - led by Sack Goldblatt Mitchell LLP and Roy Elliott O'Connor LLP  - that are acting for the plaintiffs in the high-profile overtime class actions that have been filed already against CIBC, Scotiabank and CNR.

The claim must be first certified by the court before it proceed as a class action.
