On May 19, 2014, Lead Plaintiff Douglayr Leier on behalf of herself and those similarly situated filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York vs. her former employers, Lincoln Limousine Brokerage Inc. d/b/a Lincoln Limousine, Inc., Lincoln Limousine Luxury, Inc. and company owner Mohamed M. Almogazi. Ms. Leier worked as a driver and Defendants required her to charge her clients tolls and a twenty percent gratuity, but she alleges she is not reimbursed for the toll payments or actually paid the gratuity. Additionally, Ms. Leier alleges she typically worked over eight hours per day with hours varying from fifty-two to one hundred hours per week, and her employers required her to be available at all times during the day in case they added or changed their clients’ trip schedules. Ms. Leier argues that Defendants unlawfully withheld her tips and toll payments from the wages she earned, Defendants did not pay her the proper minimum wages or overtime wages and refused to give Ms. Leier her last paycheck in violation New York Labor Law, New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations, New York common law, and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. If any person worked for any of the limousine companies or individuals named as a Defendant in the lawsuit during the time period of May 19, 2008 – May 19, 2014 or has information that may be relevant to this case, contact Borrelli & Associates, P.L.L.C. as soon as possible through our website, www.employmentlawyernewyork.com, or any of our phone numbers: (516) 248 – 5550, (516) ABOGADO, and (212) 679 – 5000.
