Notice for Employees of North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System

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 Honorable Paul A. Crotty, the judge assigned to cases against other health care systems, held a hearing and stated that our firm had posted “false, misleading and deceptive” information on our website. Although Judge Crotty was addressing the case before him, the same issues with the website occurred in this case. Specifically, Judge Crotty noted that our website falsely stated that the Judge had:

Granted a motion to certify a class action. No such motion has been filed in this case and the Judge has not certified any class or collective action of current or past North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System employees.
Concluded that employees had shown they had routinely not been paid for their meal breaks. The Judge made no such ruling.
Ordered that certain employees should receive notice of this lawsuit. The Judge has not ordered that employees receive notice of this lawsuit.

Judge Crotty also expressed that it was improper for our firm to instruct North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health 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 assigned to this case has not issued any orders regarding sending notice to North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health 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 North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System lawsuit and never intended to mislead or deceive anyone. We apologize to the Court and to North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health 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.
