Rene Flores, who worked at the Watertown, Mass., club from March to December 2017, alleged in the complaint that the club failed to pay wait staff the service minimum wage, overtime, and for all hours worked. In a statement, the club said it “is confident that its employees were and are paid in compliance with the law.”
Rene Flores, a former employee of Oakley Country Club in Watertown, Mass., alleged in a class-action lawsuit filed last week that the club failed to pay wait staff the service minimum wage, failed to pay wait staff overtime, and failed to pay wait staff for all hours worked, the Lexington, Mass., Wicked Local reported.
Flores worked at the club from March 2017 to December 2017. He filed the suit on behalf of himself and other wait staff employees who worked at the club during that period, Wicked Local reported.
In response to the lawsuit, the Oakley Country Club stated:
“A former Oakley Country Club employee has filed a lawsuit against the club claiming that he and others were not paid properly under state and federal wage hour laws. While Oakley does not believe it is appropriate to get into details regarding the allegations and its responses it is confident that its employees were and are paid in compliance with the law.
“The individual who commenced this lawsuit was employed for only six months and was terminated following an investigation into his conduct and behavior with another team member. While it is unfortunate that a disgruntled former employee would proceed down this path, Oakley will defend itself and most importantly continue to provide a quality experience for both its employees and members.”
