NY-AG v. Original Media LLC

Settled$282KRestitution

Original Media LLC allegedly failed to pay scores of employees required overtime. According to NY-AG, beginning in January 2009, Original Media misclassified employees – including Production Assistants and Associate Producers – as exempt from overtime pay. As a result, many of these workers were entitled to overtime pay but never received it. Original Media also allegedly did not keep legally required records listing the total hours employees worked and did not provide employees with accurate statements of the hours they worked during each pay period.
