Firm represented a collective group of former employees against Big Apple Designers Inc., and Velocity Framers USA Inc. 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 to working fifty-eight and one-half hours per week 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 of one hour’s pay at the minimum wage for all days 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 $120,000.00. Alexander T. Coleman handled the matter on behalf of the firm.
