From April 14, 2011 to January 10, 2017, Mr. Nolasco was employed by the defendants as a shoe maker. As a shoe maker, Mr. Nolasco’s main duties consisted of repairing shoes for Defendant’s clients. The complaint alleges that the defendant violated the New York Labor Law, New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations, and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. As detailed in the complaint, the plaintiff routinely worked fifty hours per week and was paid at an hourly wage of $25.000/hour. Furthermore, the complaint alleges that Mr. Nolasco was never compensated for any hours over forty per week. Finally, the defendants failed to provide Mr. Nolasco with a wage statement that accurately listed the actual hours he worked for that week or his straight and overtime rate of pay.
