New Jersey
The operators of numerous ShopRite supermarkets in the tri-state area have been hit with a proposed collective and class action lawsuit filed over allegedly unpaid overtime wages.
The plaintiffs behind the case are two former chefs who claim they regularly put in overtime hours at the defendants’ Livingston, New Jersey store for a fixed weekly salary that failed to provide time-and-a-half pay. According to the suit, the supermarket operators violated various federal and state labor laws by mishandling the plaintiffs’ “personal days, sick days, holidays, vacation time, breaks, time spent changing clothes and cleaning his person, and overtime compensation calculations.”
The case comes after another lawsuit filed over similar alleged wage abuses at two of the defendants’ other New Jersey stores was settled last year.
