Lead Plaintiff, Mr. Fernandez, on behalf of himself, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly-situated, filed a collective action lawsuit in the United States District Court Southern District of New York against PINNACLE GROUP NY LLC (“Pinnacle”), and JOEL WEINER, individually (“Weiner”), (together, where appropriate, as “Defendants”), alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), including the failure of Defendants to compensate Plaintiff for overtime wages. The claims of the case are reviewed as follows:
Defendant violated Plaintiff’s rights guaranteed to him by the overtime provisions of the FLSA. Including the failure of Defendants to compensate Plaintiff for overtime wages.
Certification of Collective Action
In this case, pursuant to the request of the Plaintiff, the Judge reviewed claims that the Plaintiff brought forward alleging that there are additional workers in the same “class” (performing the same or similar duties) whose rights have been violated. On June 5, 2024, the Court ordered the approval of a collective action, allowing the case to proceed as a collective action enabling any current and former employees who were not paid properly to join the lawsuit and seek redress for Defendants’ failure to compensate them in accordance with the law.
