Celine Dion claims that the ex-employee who is filing a lawsuit against her got more than enough cash to cover his alleged overtime and even she goes on further saying that he turned down a $10,000 payout when he was fired! As it was said on a previous post, Keith Sturtevant, a former "warehouse manager" for Celine and her husband Rene, sued the pair claiming he was never paid overtime even though he regularly worked more than 40 hours per week during his 3 plus years of service.
But a rep for Celine reveals that Sturtevant was "paid a handsome yearly salary that covered overtime for his services for three years."In his lawsuit, Sturtevant states he originally made about $50,000 per year, but eventually got a raise to $63,000 per year.
The rep also claims Sturtevant turned down a very handsome severance package -vacation pay plus $10k- when he was fired last month.
According to reports, Celine and Rene fired Sturtevant due to poor performance.
