Firm represented a collective group of employees against Morano Landscape Garden Designs, LTD., and Rosina Morano Sagliocco for unpaid overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law. Generally, the Plaintiffs contended that the company subjected them work to in excess of forty hours each week while failing to pay at any rate of pay, much less at the rate of time and one-half straight-time rate for any hours. Additionally, Plaintiffs hourly rate of pay often fell below the minimum rate that either the FLSA or NYLL require for each hour worked, resulting in minimum wage violation under both statutes. Furthermore, Defendants failed to provide Plaintiffs an extra hour’s pay at the minimum wage rate for all days when their spread of hours worked exceeded ten, nor did they provide Plaintiffs with proper wage statements on each payday as the New York Labor Law requires. The case concluded in a judgment in the amount of $435,000.00. Michael J. Borrelli and Alexander T. Coleman handled the matter on behalf of the firm.
