The Latest Twist in the Legal Saga
Two former employees of Mount Airy Casino Resort, Jennifer Mak and William Neidig, have taken the resort to court. They've filed a class-action lawsuit alleging that Mount Airy has breached several labor laws. Tenciously watching the rapidly unfolding events, the casino world waits for news of the case following a recent 120-day stay to allow for mediation and settlement discussions.
Long-Awaited Legal Battle
If you remember, back in 2012, Jennifer Mak made headlines when she sued her previous employer, Parx Casino. Now, her actions against Mount Airy continue this trend. The current lawsuit, joined by William Neidig, claims Mount Airy Casino Resort violated the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act, the Pennsylvania Payment and Collection Law, and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Growing List of Allegations
The lawsuit, originally involving just Mak and Neidig, has since swelled to include a class of 75 plaintiffs. Predicting a potential payout of $5 million in damages, these workers allege various wage violations, including improper tip pooling with non-tipped managers and failure to notify employees of tip-credit provisions under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Legal Intricacies
The complaint highlights several breaches:
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Unlawful tip diversion, failure to appropriately apply tip credits, and retaining employee tips.
- Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act: Wage law violations.
- Wage and Payment Collection Act: Additional wage violations.
