News Update in the Little v. Wynn Las Vegas LLC Tip Sharing Lawsuit
In the recent tip sharing lawsuit case of Little v. Wynn Las Vegas LLC, the legal team at Gabroy | Messer has secured a significant victory for employee rights in Las Vegas. The tip sharing lawsuit case, filed on July 21, 2023, involved a slot attendant, Sheila Little, who alleged that Wynn Las Vegas shared tips with managers and diverted some to the casino itself, claiming misplacement of tips. This led to a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) proposed collective action lawsuit filed by Gabroy | Messer on behalf of Little against Wynn Las Vegas LLC.
After intense work, dedicated scrutiny, and hard-fought litigation, Christian Gabroy of Gabroy | Messer successfully represented Sheila Little in reaching a settlement agreement with Wynn Las Vegas. The settlement, totaling $600,000, represents a substantial recovery rate of the damages Little and other workers were owed. The terms of the settlement were deemed fair and reasonable, considering the risks associated with prolonged litigation.
The tip sharing lawsuit settlement agreement includes provisions for attorney fees, expenses, payments to named plaintiffs, and settlement administration costs. The remaining amount will be distributed among class members based on their employment duration at Wynn. Notably, the agreement also includes a provision allowing Wynn to void the entire agreement if a certain amount of funds remain unallocated after class members opt-in.
Christian Gabroy expressed satisfaction with the tip sharing lawsuit outcome, emphasizing the commitment of Gabroy | Messer to fighting for employee rights. This successful resolution showcases the firm’s dedication to pursuing justice for workers and holding employers accountable for fair labor practices.
While Wynn Las Vegas did not provide comment on the settlement, the legal representation on both sides highlights the importance of skilled attorneys in navigating complex employment law cases. The case serves as a reminder of the significance of legal advocacy in protecting employee rights and ensuring fair treatment in the workplace.
