Crown Building Maintenance, Co. is facing a former employee’s proposed class action that claims the defendant failed to pay employees proper wages upon their separation from employment, trimmed their hours, and denied them overtime wages. The plaintiff says he was employed as a janitor between 2009 and October 2017 but never received “all [his] earned, vested and determinable wages” after his separation from Crown Building. He argues that the defendant often reported that he and other employees worked fewer hours than they actually worked and subsequently paid them less than they were owed. On top of that, the suit attests, the plaintiff many times worked more than 40 hours per week without receiving time-and-a-half premium wages for the hours he worked above 40.
