The complaint alleges as follows: Plaintiff worked for Defendants at their Carle Place, New York location as an analyst from April 8, 2013, until she resigned on August 8, 2017. Throughout her employment, 1-800-Flowers required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff did work, five days per week, starting her workday at approximately 9:00 a.m. and ending at approximately 6:00 p.m., while rarely providing her with an uninterrupted break during each workday.

Each hour that Plaintiff, FLSA Plaintiffs, and Rule 23 Plaintiffs worked was for Defendants’ benefit. Defendants did not pay Plaintiff at any rate of pay for any hours that she worked in a week in excess of forty.
