In a recently filed proposed class action, a Florida man has named his former employers – DSA Management Co., Inc., 635 11^th Miami Ventures, LLC, and one individual – as defendants, claiming they failed to pay him proper wages. The plaintiff says he was employed as a property manager between March and November 2016 and worked approximately 70 to 90 hours per week without receiving any wages. In exchange for his services, the defendants allegedly paid the plaintiff’s rent for a unit in one of their apartment buildings. The suit argues that the plaintiff is entitled to recover $7,312.50 in unpaid minimum wages and $7,224.00 in unpaid overtime.

The complaint further alleges that around May 2016, the defendants began renovating several apartments without obtaining the proper permits and instructed the plaintiff to take down any posted violation notices. The suit claims after the units were inspected in October 2016 and the City of Miami Beach threatened to shut off the building’s electricity, the plaintiff voiced his concerns with the illegal construction work to the individual defendant. He says he was terminated within one week in alleged violation of Florida’s Whistleblower Act.
