Stamped Complaint 13-1727 (FB)(RML)
On April 1, 2013, Fitapelli & Schaffer filed a class and collective action lawsuit against Wanrong Trading Corp. (“Wanrong”) for failing to pay overtime wages for hours worked over 40 per workweek. According to the lawsuit, Wanrong misclassified its employees as exempt from overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and the New York Labor Law (“NYLL”). In order to minimize labor costs, Wanrong, a meat processing and packaging facility, paid a set weekly salary to its delivery workers, loaders, stock persons, processors, and assemblers regardless of the amount of hours they worked per week. It is alleged that these employees do not qualify for an exemption because their primary duties are preparing shipments, loading and unloading shipments, and packaging food. If you work or worked at Wanrong within the past 6 years, please contact the New York City employment lawyers at Fitapelli & Schaffer, (212) 300-0375, to discuss joining the case.
