Wages and Overtime

Garcia-Herrera et al. v. Super 8, et al. Docket No: 1:19-cv-07164-MKB-PK

Firm Secures Judgment in the amount of $140,000.00 – Wage & Hour Violations – Firm represented a collective group of former employees against  Jai Balaji Inc d/b/a Super 8 by Wyndham Long Island City LGA Hotel, and S.A. Gandhi, individually, and Vikram Gandhi, individually, 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 in excess of forty hours a week or virtually each week, yet Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for any of the hours that they’ve worked in a week excess of forty.  Additionally, after requiring Plaintiffs to clock out and continue working off-the-clock, Defendants paid Plaintiff, in cash, at their straight time rate for all hours that they’ve worked over forty in a week.  Furthermore, Defendants violated the NYLL by: failing to provide Plaintiffs with spread-of-hours pay whenever their workday exceeded ten hours from ten hours from start to finish; paying Plaintiffs less frequently than on a weekly basis; and failing to provide Plaintiff with accurate wage statements on each payday. The case concluded in a judgment in the amount of $140,000.00.  Michael J. Borrelli and Lauren R. Reznick handled the matter on behalf of the firm.
