A proposed collective action has been filed against Bright Laundry Land Corp. and two individual owners by two former employees who take issue with the defendants’ pay practices. The plaintiffs allegedly worked at the laundromat for more than 40 hours per week and were responsible for washing, drying, and folding clothes, as well as general cleaning duties.

The plaintiffs claim they were paid a fixed weekly salary – ranging between $500 and $625 – and were often required to work additional hours beyond their scheduled shifts without any extra pay. The case argues that their effective rates of pay fell below the minimum wage and that the defendant unlawfully failed to pay out time-and-a-half overtime pay.

Moreover, the defendants allegedly neglected to provide employees with meal breaks, wage notices, and accurate paystubs in accordance with state law.
