Case: Wage & Hour/Unpaid Wages (S.D.N.Y.)

A New York federal district court denied summary judgment to NYU Langone Hospitals on an unlawful wage deduction claim under the New York Labor Law of a physician assistant who alleged that NYU Langone failed to pay her for unused vacation time upon her termination, concluding that a reasonable jury could find that her termination constituted a discharge, which was a permissible reason for withholding unused vacation pay under the health system’s policy, as permitted under the NYLL.
