Allegations
The complaint alleges that the employer failed to include non-discretionary hotel room bonuses in the regular rate of pay used to calculate the overtime rate, resulting in underpaid overtime wages. It further alleges that the employer willfully failed to pay all accrued wages, including vacation pay, bonuses, and overtime, upon discharge or layoff, making it liable for waiting time penalties. It further alleges that the employer issued wage statements that omitted vested vacation pay, floating holiday pay, bonuses, and the accurate overtime rate of pay. It further alleges that the employer failed to immediately pay out vested vacation time and floating holidays when employees were laid off or terminated.
