The latest blog post from Frank Azar:
A class action lawsuit was filed against an owner of a McDonalds Corporation franchise in Albany, New York on May 6th, 2013. The owner of the franchise is being charged with violations of State and Federal wage and hour laws. It is alleged that Ralph Crawford, franchise owner, and the McDonald’s Corporation participated in “time-shaving,” an illegal practice in which supervisors cut payroll costs by deleting hours logged by workers to save money for the major company.
This is very common for large corporations and franchises, and something we have seen before with the company Wal-Mart (mentioned in previous post). Like Wal-Mart, the franchise owner, along with the McDonalds Corporation, are accused of depriving their employees a 30 minute uninterrupted lunch break. They also failed to provide employees disclosures ensuring their rate of pay, failed to compensate employees for total hours worked, and deprived their employees of overtime pay.
Jeffrey Schuyler has come forward as the lead plaintiff in this class action case. He is a former McDonald’s employee terminated after he rightfully reported the wage violations to his company supervisors.
The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of all non-exempt employees having worked for Ralph Crawford at the McDonald’s franchise over the course of the past 6 years, and the estimated class size is over 500 members.
Hacker Murphy, LLP, an Albany based litigation firm, is acting as the prosecutor.
This class action case against McDonald’s for time-shaving, etc. is a very common practice, and something that should not be ignored. If you are deserving of more pay of have been mistreated by your employer, call Frank Azar, and receive the compensation you rightfully deserve.
