Treatment Partners of America LLC and the company’s president have been named in a former employee’s proposed collective action in which the woman claims she was not paid any wages during her approximately two-week tenure.

The plaintiff worked as a “transitional therapist” at the Boca Raton, Florida addiction treatment facility, where she was responsible for counseling clients through recovery, the suit says.

According to the case, the plaintiff put in 40 hours during her first week of employment for which she did not receive any wages. The suit claims the woman went on to notify the defendants of her nonpayment, to which they responded that she would be compensated “at a later date.”

The plaintiff alleges she then worked another 40 hours for which the defendants again “refused” to pay her. The following week, the defendants “immediately advised” the plaintiff and similarly situated employees that their services were no longer needed, the complaint says.

All told, the suit charges the woman is owed at least the minimum wage for approximately 88 hours of unpaid labor.
