Vasquez v. Singh Landscaping & Lawn Sprinkler, Corp., and Jagtar Singh, individually, and Ranjit Singh, individually, Inc.; Index No.:1:25-cv-06997

New Action filed in the United States District Court Eastern District of New York

On December 19, 2025, Plaintiff Vasquez, by and through his attorneys, Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C., as and for his Complaint against Singh Landscaping & Lawn Sprinkler Corp.(“Singh Landscaping”), and Jagtar Singh, individually (“Jagtar”), and Ranjit Singh, individually, (“Ranjit,” and together, with Singh Landscaping and Jagtar where appropriate, as “Defendants”),  alleges upon knowledge as to himself and his own actions, and upon information and belief as to all other matter, as follows:

Plaintiff worked for Defendants – – a New York corporation that operates a landscaping, sprinkler, and construction business in Queens, New York and its two owners and day-to-day overseers – – as a manual laborer from March 17, 2025, until October 18, 2025.  As described below, throughout Plaintiff’s employment, Defendants required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff did work, in excess of forty hours each workweek, or virtually each week.  Yet in exchange, Defendants paid Plaintiff on an hourly basis at his regular rate for each hour that he worked, and thus Defendants did not pay Plaintiff at the overtime rate of one and one-half times his regular rate, or one and one-half times the minimum wage rate, if greater, for the hours that he worked over forty in a week, in violation of the FLSA’s and the NYLL’s overtime provisions.  Furthermore, from the beginning of his employment until June 30, 2025, the hourly rate that Defendants paid Plaintiff was below the minimum wage that the NYLL required for each hour of work.  Additionally, Defendants violated the NYLL by failing to furnish Plaintiff with any wage notice at the time of his hire or with an accurate wage statement on each payday.  Defendants paid and treated all of their hourly-paid manual laborers in the same manner.
