This is a class action lawsuit on behalf of hourly-paid employees of St. Moritz Security Services, Inc., for failure to pay minimum wages and overtime, as well as failure to timely pay all wages due and owing. Plaintiff alleges Defendant failed to pay employees the overtime premium rate for all hours worked over eight (8) hours in a 24-hour period. This violates NRS 608.018, which states that employees who earn less than 1 and ½ times the minimum wage and who work more than eight (8) hours in a day must be paid their overtime premium rate for all hours worked over eight (8) in a 24-hour period. Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant scheduled employees to work shifts without having an uninterrupted period of 16 hours or more between shifts, known as a “jammed shift”. Plaintiff also alleges that Defendant failed to pay wages for all hours worked for mandatory training classes, in violation of 608.016. NRS 608.016 states that an employer shall pay to the employee wages for each hour the employee works, and that the employer shall not require an employee to work without wages during a trial or break-in period.
Plaintiff demands payment for herself and all other Class Members that Defendant pay Plaintiff and Class Members unpaid wages for all hours worked, and overtime premium pay for overtime hours worked during the relevant time period, together with attorneys’ fees, costs, interest, and injunctive relief, as provided by law. Plaintiff also demands sixty days of pay as continuation wage/waiting time penalties.
If you work in Nevada earn less than 1 and ½ times minimum wage, who worked more than eight (8) hours in a day and/or worked over forty (40) hours in a work week, or worked a shift with less than 16-hours between the end of one shift and the beginning of the next and have been denied overtime compensation for overtime hours worked, please get in touch with Thierman Buck to discuss your rights.
