Borrelli & Associates, PLLC filed a class and collective action lawsuit against J.M. Hollister LLC and Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc. (NYSE: ANF) for failing to pay proper overtime wages to Assistant Managers and Managers-In-Training. Wat v. JM Hollister LLC, 14-cv-5361 (E.D.N.Y.).
The case involves claims that Hollister violated federal and state law by failing to pay Assistant Managers and Managers-In-Training all wages due and owing to them for working more than 40 hours a week. Hollister did not pay overtime to its Assistant Managers and Managers-In-Training at time and one-half. Instead, Hollister paid half-time for overtime work which the former Assistant Manager claims violated the law.
The claims are brought on a class and collective basis to obtain damages for any other Assistant Managers and Managers-In-Training who were not paid overtime at time and one-half and wish to join the case.
The Complaint seeks all overtime wages owed plus liquidated (double) damages, penalty damages, interest, and attorney’s fees and costs.
The full number of Hollister Assistant Managers and Managers-In-Training who were subject to Hollister’s pay practice is not known.
It is one of Borrelli and Associates’ priorities to help workers obtain overtime premiums to which they are entitled. The firm has significant experience in pursuing these claims.
