Los Limones Grocery Corp. and an individual with operational control of the business are on the receiving end of a proposed collective action filed by a former employee who claims the parties violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. The plaintiff says he worked for the defendants – who do business as Los Limones Deli in Brooklyn, New York – from January 2014 to February 2017 without receiving proper minimum and overtime wages. As a deli worker, the plaintiff was regularly required to work more than 40 hours per week, the complaint notes, but he allegedly did not receive premium overtime pay for the hours he worked above 40. He further argues that he was not paid for all hours worked, claiming his fixed weekly salary never varied when he was required to work longer than scheduled.

According to the suit, the defendants also failed to keep accurate records of the plaintiff’s hours worked and never provided him with wage notices and statements, as required by state and federal law.
