New Collective Action in the Eastern District Of New York

Pablo Cisneros et al v. Mastec Services Company, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:14-cv-03109
On May 16, 2014, Named Plaintiffs Pablo Cisneros and Bernardo Vega on behalf of themselves and those similarly situated filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York vs. their former employers, Mastec Services Company, Inc. and Jose Mas, Jeff Muoio, Jay Caroll, Dimas Medeiros, John Shaw, Douglas Carter, and Brendan Dowling. Mastec, a multinational infrastructure engineering and construction company employed Named Plaintiffs as technical personnel in Defendant’s DirecTV installation business. Mr. Cisneros and Mr. Vega both allege they were responsible for installations and worked Monday to Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m., and five or more hours on weekends tending to high-priority customer service issues. In their complaint, Mr. Cisneros and Mr. Vega both allege that Defendants gave them a job title of “Field Technician Supervisor” so that it seemed like they held a supervisory position and would therefore be exempt from overtime. However, Mr. Cisneros and Mr. Vega argue that they never actually supervised other employees and should be entitled to overtime because they were wrongfully classified. Mr. Cisneros and Mr. Vega worked for a total of sixty-five-and-one-half to seventy hours per week, and Defendants did not pay the proper minimum or overtime wages for any hour they worked over forty hours worked or provide accurate wage statements in violation of New York Labor Law, New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
