MasterCorp, Inc. is in the crosshairs of a proposed collective and class action filed by a former employee who alleges the hospitality staffing company has failed to pay proper wages.

The plaintiff—who the suit says worked for the defendant as a housekeeping supervisor, houseman, and dispatcher from May 2014 through July 2018—claims MasterCorp ran afoul of federal and Colorado labor laws by automatically deducting 30 minutes from similarly situated employees’ pay for meal breaks. According to the suit, such employees were not provided uninterrupted meal breaks during every shift, nor were they able to take 10-minute rest periods for every four hours worked in accordance with Colorado law. As a result, housekeeping supervisors, housemen, and dispatchers such as the plaintiff regularly worked more than 40 hours per week without being paid proper time-and-a-half overtime wages, the lawsuit claims.
