Red Hook Deli and Grocery 2015 Corp., which runs Red Hook Gourmet Deli in Brooklyn, and its individual owners are on the receiving end of a former employee’s proposed collective action in which the man claims he’s owed unpaid overtime and spread-of-hours wages. According to the complaint, the plaintiff worked for the defendants from August 2016 through October 2017. The plaintiff claims he typically worked 84 hours per week between August 2016 and August 20017 without time-and-a-half overtime nor spread-of-hours pay for shifts that lasted longer than 10 hours in a day. From September 2017 through the end of the plaintiff’s employment, the case continues, the man usually worked 63 hours per week without proper wages. The plaintiff’s pay never varied no matter how many hours he worked each week, the case says.
