This is a class action on behalf of hourly paid employees for violations of Nevada’s minimum wage and overtime wage laws.
Under Nevada law, employers who offer health benefits are entitled to pay their employees the lower tier minimum wage of $7.25 as opposed to $8.25 as long as the health insurance offered to the employee is less than 10% of the total gross income of the employee or the value of the policy is equal to at least $1.00 per hour. Plaintiff was paid $7.25 per hour but his health insurance contributions are either greater than 10% of his gross income or not equal to at least $1.00 per hour. Plaintiff seeks payment for the wages owed, waiting time penalties, and injunctive relief.
The Parties have entered into a voluntary and confidential settlement agreement which has been preliminarily approved by the Court. Notice to employees who worked for Tao LV Nightclub between July 11, 210 and April 12, 2019 instructing them how to claim their portion of the settlement or exclude themselves from the settlement was mailed in April 2019. The final approval hearing is scheduled for August 9, 2019.
