On April 13, 2015, Lead Plaintiff Seddiq Elamrani on behalf of himself and those similarly situated filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York vs. Henry Limousine, Ltd., and Avraham Mazouz. Mr. Elamrani worked for Defendants, a taxi and limousine company and its owner, as a driver from August 2010 through December 2013. He alleges that he worked between seventy to 100 hours per week throughout his employment. However, Defendants failed to pay Mr. Elamrani the proper New York minimum wage, at any rate of pay, or the proper overtime compensation at the statutorily-required overtime rate of pay for any hour that he worked per week over forty hours per week as the New York Labor Law, the New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations, and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act require. Defendants also failed to pay Mr. Elamrani at his regular rate of pay in accordance with his terms of employment and did not pay him the tips which Defendants charged their customers, purportedly to pay to Mr. Elamrani and other drivers, both in violation of New York Labor Law. Finally, Defendants did not furnish Mr. Elamrani with accurate wage statements on any occasion that they paid him wages required by the New York Labor Law.
