New Collective Action filed in the Eastern District of New York
Kenroy Andre Brown v. Michael Della Vecchia & Son Inc. et al Case No.: 1:17-CV-06094
On October 18, 2017, Plaintiff Kenroy Andre Brown, on behalf of himself and those similarly situated, filed a collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York against Michael Della Vecchia & Son Inc. et al. The complaint alleges as follows: Plaintiff worked for Defendants as a laborer from September 8, 2015 through October 6, 2017. Throughout his employment, the Defendants willfully failed to pay Plaintiff the wages lawfully due to him under the FLSA and the NYLL. Specifically, Defendants routinely required Plaintiff to work beyond forty hours in a workweek, but paid Plaintiff on an hourly basis for only his forty hours worked per week, and thus failed to compensate Plaintiff at the statutorily-required overtime rate for any hours that he worked per week in excess of forty. Additionally, Defendants failed to provide Plaintiff with proper wage statements on each payday or with an accurate wage notice at the time of hire, as the NYLL requires. Defendants paid and treated all of their laborers in this same or a similar manner.
