Sarmiento et al. v. Frank’s Pizzeria Inc., et al. Docket No: 21-cv-6813(BMC)

Firm Secures Judgment in the amount of $310,000.00 – Wage & Hour Violations

Firm represented four former employees against Frank’s Pizzeria Inc. and LPZZA, Inc., two corporations that operate as a single enterprise to run a Nassau County-based Italian restaurant, for unpaid overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor law.  Generally, the Plaintiffs contended that the Company subjected them to working forty hours a week while only paying them straight time.  Additionally, Plaintiffs argued that 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.  Further, the Defendants failed to pay proper spread of hours pay.  The case concluded in a judgment in the amount of $310,000.00.  Michael J. Borrelli, Alexander T. Coleman, and Andrew C. Weiss handled the matter on behalf of the firm.
