Adoro Lei and four individuals with control over the business face a proposed collective action in which the plaintiff claims the New York City Italian eatery failed to pay proper wages. The plaintiff, a former pizza maker, claims he typically worked 59 hours per week between September 2016 and May 2017, and 52 hours per week until the end of his employment in January 2018 without time-and-a-half pay or spread-of-hours premiums for shifts that lasted longer than 10 hours. Moreover, the plaintiff says he was never provided with meal or rest breaks of any kind, nor wage statements detailing his wages and hours worked. Lastly, the case alleges the plaintiff was never reimbursed by the defendants for purchasing his own “tools of the trade,” including six work shirts and kitchen shoes.
