The owning entities of VIP Club, a Manhattan, New York strip club, are facing a class action filed by three former dancers who claim they were unlawfully misclassified.
The owning entities of VIP Club, a Manhattan, New York strip club, are facing a class action filed by three former dancers who claim they were unlawfully misclassified as independent contractors who were paid only in tips. The 29-page complaint alleges that the below defendants, as well as three individuals, broke the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay the plaintiffs and proposed class members a steady wage and proper overtime pay:
- ABCZ Corp.
- ABCZ II MGMT. Corp.
- Sushi Fun Dining & Catering, Inc.
- Pacific Club Holdings, Inc.
- Pacific Club Holdings II, Inc.
- West 20th Enterprises Corp.
The named plaintiffs behind this case, the complaint notes, are individuals who opted out of a similar class action against the defendants in 2014. Each plaintiff claims she was paid only in tips received from customers and had to pay a “house fee” to the defendants each time she danced, in addition to tipping out the DJ, on-site hair and makeup workers, and hosts.
