The entities that own and operate Blimpie sandwich shops in the Bronx are the defendants in a proposed class action filed in New York that alleges the companies failed to pay proper minimum, overtime and spread-of-hours wages.

Filed by a former employee against Twin 161 Corp. (the franchisee defendant), Kahala Holdings LLC, Kahala Restaurants LLC, and four other similarly styled companies (the franchisor defendants), as well as their individual owner, the lawsuit claims the plaintiff and other sandwich makers regularly worked more than 40 hours per week without being paid proper time-and-a-half overtime wages. The plaintiff, who worked for the defendants from November 2016 through early October 2017, claims he typically worked as many as 62.25 hours during most workweeks without proper wages. Moreover, the man claims the defendants required him to work 15 minutes past his scheduled shift end time every day without compensation, and never granted him meal or rest periods of any kind during his workdays.
