A former superintendent of MCS Properties has filed suit against its two operating companies and two individual owners over allegations that they failed to pay him proper minimum, overtime, and spread-of-hours wages and neglected to provide him with accurate wage documents. The plaintiff claims he worked more than 40 hours per week and did not receive overtime compensation for the hours he worked above 40. He further argues that he was paid a fixed weekly salary that never altered, regardless of how many hours he worked. As a result, he claims he was not compensated for some of his hours, causing his pay to fall below minimum wage.

According to the suit, the defendants also failed to provide their workers with accurate wage statements that recorded their hours and rates of pay. Additionally, employees supposedly never received wage notices when they were hired and at the beginning of each year. The complaint alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York state law.
