Two operating companies and two individual owners of New York City’s Famous Original Ray’s Pizza are the defendants in a proposed collective action filed by a former employee. He claims he is owed minimum, overtime, and spread-of-hours wages and that the defendants failed to provide him with proper wage documents. The plaintiff was allegedly paid less than the tip-credited rate, though the suit says the defendants were not eligible to take a tip credit anyway because they required the plaintiff to spend more than 20% of each shift performing non-tipped duties. The complaint further claims that the plaintiff worked more than 40 hours per week and more than 10 hours for some shifts without receiving overtime or spread-of-hours wages. Even further, he supposedly never received weekly wage statements and was often forced to work beyond his scheduled shifts without any additional compensation.
