On October 1, 2014, Lead Plaintiff Edwin Pacheco on behalf of himself and those similarly situated filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York vs. The Beverage Works NY, Inc. and Ricardo Valentine. Mr. Pacheco worked for Defendants as a driver from in or around April 2012 until in or around January 2014. Mr. Pacheco alleges that he worked between sixty-two and one-half hours and sixty-seven and one-half hours per week. However, Defendants failed to pay Mr. Pacheco overtime compensation at the statutorily-required overtime rate of pay for each hour that he worked per week that was in excess of forty total hours, as the New York Labor Law, New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations, and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act require. In addition, Defendants failed to furnish Mr. Pacheco with accurate wage statements on each payday as required by the New York Labor Law.
