Will Nails and its owning and operating entities have been hit with a class action over alleged Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations. Filed in New York, the complaint claims the defendants failed to pay current and former beauty service professionals the federal minimum wage and overtime pay at the time-and-a-half hourly rate required by the FLSA. Additionally, the plaintiff claim they are owed spread-of-hours pay for working shifts longer than 10 hours in a day.

The plaintiffs say they occasionally worked seven days a week—sometimes totaling more than 60 hours—without an uninterrupted half-hour meal break on any day. According to the complaint, the plaintiffs’ base pay per day does not take into consideration the total number of hours worked and was paid entire in cash for a significant duration of their employment.
