Montage Hotels and Resorts, LLC is facing a proposed class and collective action filed by an employee who claims the company owes her unpaid wages. The suit, which was recently removed from state to federal court, alleges the defendant underpays its employees by requiring them to work off the clock, rounding their hours worked to the nearest quarter-hour, and failing to properly calculate overtime wages.

The plaintiff says she was employed as a reservations agent and was often required to work through her lunch breaks without being compensated for the extra time she spent working. She further claims the defendant often failed to include commissions “and other non-hourly payments” when determining employees’ regular rate of pay for the purposes of calculating overtime wages, resulting in lower time-and-a-half premium wages. On top of that, the complaint alleges, employees were not provided with accurate wage statements that would allow them to determine whether they were being paid fairly.
