Siguencia et al. v. Energy Plus NY Inc, et al. Docket No: 1:26-cv-00108

July 2026

Firm Secures Judgment in the amount of $175,000.00 – Wage & Hour Violations – Firm represented three former employees against Energy Plus NY Inc d/b/a Energy Plus NY, and Energy Plus USA LLC d/b/a Energy Plus NY, and Moshe Lefkowitz, individually, and Hershe Lefkowitz, individually, for unpaid overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and the New York Labor Law (“NYLL”).  Generally, the Plaintiffs contended that the Company required them to work over forty hours each week, yet due to Defendants’ unlawful deduction scheme, Plaintiffs were only paid for forty hours of work each week.  Thus, Defendants did not pay Plaintiffs at any rate, let alone at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate for the hours that Plaintiffs worked in a week in excess of forty, in violation of the FLSA’s and the NYLL’s overtime provisions.  Additionally, Defendants violated the NYLL by failing to furnish Plaintiff with any wage notice at the time of their hire or with an accurate wage statement on each payday.  After filing a complaint in the United States District Court of Eastern District of New York, the Firm negotiated a settlement of $175,000.00.  Michael J. Borrelli and Noah M. Page handled the matter on behalf of the firm.
