EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION

Current FLSA Cases & Lawsuits

Below is a sampling of some of the FLSA violation and wage and hour cases our office is currently litigating. Our FLSA attorneys represent employees in active lawsuits against employers who fail to pay overtime, commissions, or minimum wage. A number of our cases have been brought by one or a few employees who have had the courage to come forward and complain about illegal or unfair practices in the workplace. If you believe you may have a claim against your current or former employer, don't hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.

These cases span industries from restaurants and retail to energy services and financial institutions, but they generally share the same core allegations: unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, illegal deductions, or misclassification of employees as "exempt" to avoid paying them what they're owed. Every case below started when an employee who suspected something wasn't right and reached out to ask questions.

How These Cases Work

Many of the cases below are brought as FLSA collective actions, state law class actions, or both. In a collective action, employees typically need to "opt in" to join the case; in a class action, employees are often included automatically unless they choose to opt out. If your employer is listed below, or if you're simply unsure whether you're owed wages, reaching out to our unpaid wages lawyers for a free consultation is the fastest way to find out where you stand.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


What are Fitapelli & Schaffer's "current cases"?

They're active lawsuits the firm's attorneys are currently litigating on behalf of employees who allege their employer violated the Fair Labor Standards Act or state wage and hour laws, things like unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, and improper tip practices.

Does a company appearing on this list mean it's been found guilty of wrongdoing?

No. These are allegations made in active litigation, not final court findings. A case being listed here means a lawsuit has been filed and is ongoing, not that a court has ruled against the company.

Am I automatically part of one of these lawsuits if I work for one of these companies?

Not necessarily. Depending on how the case is structured, either as an FLSA collective action or a state law class action, you may need to opt in, or you may be automatically included in a certified class. The best way to find out is to contact the firm directly about your specific situation.

What's the difference between an FLSA collective action and a class action?

An FLSA collective action requires employees to affirmatively "opt in" to join the case, while a class action under state law, such as New York's Labor Law, typically includes all eligible employees automatically unless they choose to opt out.

Can I still bring a claim if my employer isn't on this list?

Yes. This page only reflects the firm's current, active litigation. Plenty of valid wage and hour claims exist against employers who aren't listed here. If you think you're owed wages, it's worth reaching out for a free consultation regardless of whether your employer appears on this page.

How do I find out if I'm eligible to join one of these cases?

Contact Fitapelli & Schaffer directly for a free consultation. An attorney can review your employment situation and let you know whether you may be eligible to join an existing case or whether you'd need to pursue a separate claim.

Where can I see cases that have already been resolved?

Past, resolved FLSA cases are listed separately on the firm's Past Cases page.
