Home Page - Leonard & Lee v. PCR Store 501, LLC

If you worked for Wingstop in Store 501 located at 905 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10473 during the time period of December 1, 2020 and February 2, 2024 and were a non-exempt Crew Member, Assistant Manager and/or Shift Leader, you may be eligible to claim a payment from the settlement

What is this Lawsuit about?

This lawsuit involves claims brought by the Plaintiffs alleging that Wingstop violated the New York Labor Law by not paying their employees all wages owed. Although both Plaintiffs and Wingstop believe that they would have prevailed at trial, this case did not go to trial. The Court did not decide in favor of either side. Instead, the parties have agreed to a settlement. This avoids the costs of a trial and the risk that Plaintiffs would not have prevailed on her claims. The Plaintiffs and her attorneys think a settlement is the best decision for everyone involved and that this one is fair and reasonable.

How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class?

The Settlement Class includes individuals who worked for Wingstop in Store 501 located at 905 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10473 during the time period of December 1, 2020 and February 2, 2024 and were a non-exempt Crew Member, Assistant Manager and/or Shift Leader.

What does the Settlement provide?

Wingstop has agreed to pay a total settlement of up to $90,000. Plaintiffs and the Class Members who file claims will each receive an amount of money based on the amount of weeks that they worked in total during their employment from December 1, 2020 and February 2, 2024. The settlement also asks the Court to approve separate service payments of $2,500 to Rynel Leonard and Chaunda Lee, the individuals who brought the Lawsuit. This service payment recognizes the many hours they gave to the Class by, among other things, retaining attorneys, supplying documents and information, and helping the attorneys investigate and prosecute the claims on behalf of the class. In addition, they are waiving additional individual claims against Wingstop.
