Weill Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University.  Ms. Hudson worked for Defendants as a Clinical Technician from October 14, 2013 through January 14, 2015.  Ms. Hudson alleges that she worked over forty hours per week throughout her employment.  However, Defendants failed to pay her the proper minimum wage and the proper overtime compensation at the statutorily-required overtime rate of pay for any hour that she worked per week over thirty-five hours per week as the New York Labor Law, and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act requires.  In addition, Defendants failed to furnish Ms. Hudson with accurate wage statements on each payday or with proper wage notices at the time or hire or on an annual basis as required by the New York Labor Law.
