Instead, these manual workers were paid on a bi-weekly basis even though they spent more than twenty-five percent of their shift time completing physical tasks. The Judge in this matter has just ruled in favor of these workers,&nbsp;allowing the case to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Petco\u2019s most recent motion attempted to&nbsp;appeal the denial of their attempt to&nbsp;dismiss the workers&nbsp;claims&nbsp;under&nbsp;the NYLL, arguing that there was no private right of action for these delayed wage payments, and that the workers were not injured by having their payments delayed. The&nbsp;Judge, however, denied this motion,&nbsp;citing&nbsp;multiple cases which show that workers have a private right of action&nbsp;to bring these claims, and that workers are injured when their wage payments are unlawfully delayed.&nbsp;The order&nbsp;The case will now proceed to the discovery stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>States, such as New York, require all manual workers, like those in the retail industry, be paid weekly as opposed to bi-weekly.
