Three plaintiffs have put their names on a proposed collective action alleging their former joint employers, Roccaway Construction, Yellowstone Construction, Inc., and five individuals with control of the businesses, failed to pay mandatory overtime wages. The plaintiffs, all formerly employed as construction foremen, repairers, and tile specialists, claim that in addition to working sometimes as many as 92 hours per week without overtime, they were never reimbursed for purchasing their own “tools of the trade,” including tools, construction helmets, glasses, and gloves. The case further claims the defendants failed to post mandatory notices around the workplace concerning employees’ Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law rights; to provide employees with accurate wage statements; and to provide information upon hiring of the workers’ rates of pay and payment schedules.
