A former employee of Angel’s Laundromat Corp. has sued the Jackson Heights, New York business and its owners to recover allegedly unpaid wages. The plaintiff, employed as a laundry worker from sometime in 2010 through March 2018, alleges in her suit that she typically worked between 54 and 58 hours per week without proper time-and-a-half hourly overtime pay. The lawsuit states that the plaintiff was paid a fixed $500 weekly salary that never varied depending on the number of hours she worked, despite “habitually” being asked to work extra hours.

“Rather, [the defendants] failed to maintain accurate recordkeeping of the hours worked, failed to pay [the plaintiff] appropriately for any hours worked, either at the straight rate of pay or for any additional overtime premium,” the complaint reads, adding the plaintiff was allegedly never provided with meal or rest breaks of any kind.
