New Collective Action filed in the Eastern District of New York
Jorge Ramos Valdez v. H & S Restaurant Operations, Inc., et al., Case No. 14-cv-4701
On July 30, 2014, Lead Plaintiff Jorge Ramos Valdez on behalf of himself and those similarly situated filed a collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York vs. H & S Restaurant Operations, Inc., d/b/a/ El Mio Cid, and Julio Hugo. Mr. Valdez has worked for Defendants since October 2013 and performs various duties such as washing dishes, plumbing, and painting. Mr. Valdez alleges that he has worked and continues to work sixty hours per week, but Defendants pay him a flat wage, in cash, which is meant to compensate him for only his first forty hours worked each week. The Defendants have never compensated Mr. Valdez, at any rate of pay, for any and all hours that he worked each week in excess of forty, in violation of the New York Labor Law, New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
