Plaintiff alleges that Defendant, Golden Nugget, maintains a timekeeping policy in which all non-exempt hourly paid employees’ clock-in and clock-out times were rounded to the nearest quarter hour. While rounding can be permissible, it is only allowed when the employee is not deprived of pay for work performed. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants’ policy disadvantages employees and deprives them of wages for recorded hours worked.
Additionally, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant’s incentive plan, which included additional compensation for employees’ tenure, quality of employees’ interactions with customers, and “upsells” sold to customers, paid to employees as “commissions were not included in the calculation of employees’ overtime rate of pay.
Plaintiff demands for herself and for similarly situated individuals’ payment from Defendant at the minimum, regular, and/or overtime rate of pay for all hours worked during the relevant time period, 60 days of pay as continuation wage / waiting time penalties, together with attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest as provided by law.
The Parties engaged in mediation and were able to reach a settlement agreement. The Parties anticipate filing a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement in early July 2025.
If you work or have worked at any time at the Golden Nugget Laughlin at any time between June 24, 2021, to the present, and had your time rounded and/or did not have incentive payments included in the calculation of your overtime rate of pay, please contact Thierman Buck immediately to discuss your rights.
