Harassment

Firm Secures Judgment in the amount of $110,000.00

Sexual Harassment & Violation of the New York Labor Law

Firm represented a represented a collective group of former employees against their former employer for egregious hostile work environment sexual harassment, as well as retaliation, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (“Title VII”) and the New York State Human Rights Law,(“NYSHRL”), as well as 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 required them to work beyond forty hours in a workweek while only paying them straight time wages regardless of how many hours they’ve worked per day or per week. Additionally, Plaintiffs argued that Defendants failed to provide Plaintiffs a spread-of-hours compensation during many occasions when their workday exceeded ten hours from beginning to end. Furthermore, Defendants failed to provide Plaintiffs with accurate wage statements on each payday or with an accurate wage notice at the time of hire, as the New York Labor Law requires.  The case concluded in a judgment in the amount of $110,000.00. Michael J. Borrelli and Lauren R. Reznick handled the matter on behalf of the firm.
