NOTICE
Information about this case that previously appeared on this website contained numerous incorrect statements about the actions taken by the Judge in this case.
On April 26, 2010, the Judge assigned to this case, the Honorable Paul A. Crotty, held a hearing and stated that our firm had posted “false, misleading and deceptive” information on our website. Specifically, Judge Crotty noted that our website falsely stated that he had:
- Granted a motion to certify a class action. No such motion has been filed in this case and Judge Crotty has not certified any class or collective action of current or past New York Presbyterian Healthcare System employees.
- Concluded that employees had shown they had routinely not been paid for their meal breaks. Judge Crotty made no such ruling.
- Ordered that certain employees should receive notice of this lawsuit. Judge Crotty has not ordered that employees receive notice of this lawsuit.
Judge Crotty also expressed that it was improper for our firm to instruct New York Presbyterian Healthcare System employees who had visited the website to contact our firm if they did not receive a copy of the notice of this lawsuit. The Judge has not issued any orders regarding sending notice to New York Presbyterian Healthcare System employees. Therefore you should not be concerned that you have not received a notice of this lawsuit and you do not need to contact us.
We take full responsibility for the content on our website and regret that these errors appeared on our website. We never intended that this information, regarding other lawsuits we are prosecuting, be posted concerning the New York Presbyterian Healthcare System lawsuit and never intended to mislead or deceive anyone. We apologize to the Court and to New York Presbyterian Healthcare System for the error.
If you decided to participate in this lawsuit because of these statements and you now wish to opt-out, or you wish to opt-out for any other reason, all you need to do is to send an email to jwitenko@theemploymentattorneys.com or call toll free at 877.272.4066, and request to withdraw from the lawsuit.
