This class action was filed by two former hourly employees of Fusion Wireless, a cellular company with locations throughout the New York metropolitan area and Long Island. The action is brought on behalf of all non-managerial employees who worked in excess of 40 hours per week and who were not paid proper overtime as mandated by Federal and New York Labor Laws. It is alleged that hourly employees were required to work well over 40 hours per week, sometimes 7 days a week, and they were not paid the statutorily required time and one-half their hourly rate for all hours worked over 40. If successful, Plaintiffs and the class of similarly situated employees, would be entitled to lost wages, liquidated damages, interest and attorney’s fees.
