UPDATE 01/18/2023
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action suit on July 1, 2022, against Optum Inc., Insight Global LLC, Apex Systems Inc., Equity Staffing Group Inc., and Adecco USA Inc., (collectively “Defendants”), seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for former employees under the federal and New York Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Acts, and seeking penalties against Defendant New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (“HHC”) under the New York Wage Theft Protection Act.
We contend Defendants ordered mass layoffs on or about March and April of 2022, without providing employees with 90 days’ advance written notice as required by the New York WARN Act, and without 60 days’ advance notice as required by the WARN Act. We also contend HHC failed to provide pay statements or stubs to terminated employees, as required by the New York Wage Theft Protection Act. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
