UPDATE 04/30/2024
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on April 1, 2024, against Gro Intelligence Inc. (“Defendant”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act and the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“NY WARN”) Act (cumulatively, the “WARN Acts”) and damages under the New York Wage Theft Protection Act.
We contend the Defendant ordered mass layoffs starting on February 1, 2024, and continuing through March 1, 2024, and within 30 days of that date, without providing 60- or 90-days’ written notice as required by the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act and the New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“NY WARN”) Act, respectively. We also assert that Defendant did not provide wage statements to affected employees in violation of the New York Wage Theft Prevention Act.
The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
