Four EPCOT Patina Group Employees File Wage-Theft Lawsuit
Summary
Four former employees of EPCOT's Italy pavilion, LaQuita Huguely, Ismael Gonzalez, Berenice Rodriguez, and Jennifer Quiñones-Estrada, have filed a wage-theft lawsuit against Patina Group. The employees allege that the company failed to pay them for time worked, including hours that should have earned contractual overtime or holiday rates. They claim they were asked to work for free before clocking in each day and that management gave "mixed signals" regarding overtime. The lawsuit seeks over $140,000 in back pay and legal fees. Patina Group, a Delaware North subsidiary, has denied the allegations, stating that the claims are the subject of an ongoing union grievance and litigation.
