The Law Office of Joseph T. Moen is pleased to announce that the New York State Supreme Court in Warren County provided final approval of a class action settlement totaling $1.2 million between certain Defendants operating the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing and a certified class of waitstaff and hourly food service workers who worked at banquets, weddings, and corporate catered events at the Sagamore Resort. As part of the settlement, the former banquet employees who came forward to serve as class representatives were each awarded $10,000 in addition to their pro rata share of the settlement fund.
Warren County Supreme Court Judge Martin D. Auffredou previously appointed the Law Office of Joseph T. Moen as co-lead counsel for the class of hundreds of waitstaff workers employed at the Sagamore as far back as 2012, noting that class counsel have “extensive experience representing plaintiffs in similar cases”. At the hearing approving the settlement, Judge Auffredou also noted “[I]t’s indeed my great honor to be able to work with attorneys of such high caliber, so I thank you for your service.” The case was initially commenced in 2018 and concerned allegations of wage theft, tip misappropriation, and overtime violations against the operators of the Sagamore Resort in New York.
