New Action filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Bronx

King v. Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Index No.:801109/2021E

On January 25, 2021, Plaintiff King filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Bronx against CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC. (“Defendant”), alleging upon knowledge as to himself and his own actions and upon information and belief as to all other matters, as follows:

Plaintiff worked for Defendants – – a gas and electric utility company – – from May 30, 2008 until January 14, 2019, first as a customer service representative and later as a customer service supervisor.  For the period of August 16, 2016 through his final pay period (“the Relevant Period”), Defendant made deductions from Plaintiff’s wages in an effort to recover alleged overpayments of wages that the Defendant claimed to have made to Plaintiff.  These deductions were unlawful as Defendant failed to provide Plaintiff with notice at least three weeks prior to making the deductions, and/or because the amounts of the deductions were more than twelve and one-half percent of Plaintiff’s gross wages during many of his pay periods, in violation of the New York Labor Law (“NYLL”) and the N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. (“NYCRR”).  Additionally, in further violation of the NYLL, in conjunction with making those unlawful deductions, Defendant failed to provide Plaintiff with any accurate wage statements on each of those paydays.
