Sunshine USA Inc., which does business as Wu Liang Ye, and two individual owners are the defendants in a proposed collective action that claims the Chinese restaurant failed to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act and state law. The plaintiff – who worked as a dishwasher at the restaurant for an average of 63 hours per week – says he was paid a fixed salary every 15 days that did not include overtime wages or spread-of-hours pay. He further argues that he was never provided with a wage notice at his time of hire or wage statements with each paycheck that specified his hours and rate of pay.
