Class-action Lawsuit Against Mount Airy Granted 120-Day Stay
The Mount Airy casinos and the people behind a class-action lawsuit have requested a 120-day stay on the case to hammer out the details of a potential settlement
Plaintiffs Jennifer Mak and William Neidig, who accused the Mount Airy Casino Resort of breaching labor and remuneration-related laws, and the defendant, have filed a joint motion seeking a stay on the case filed by the plaintiffs, resulting in a judge granting the request.
District Judge Grants Stay Motion as Mount Airy, Plaintiffs Explore Settlement
US District Judge Joseph Saporito Jr has agreed to grant the motion on the day after the request was filed.
Based on official court documents, the parties are now exploring a potential settlement into the matter, with more information forthcoming. However, discussions may not continue past the deadline on July 22, 2025, at which point the case will return to the courts for further deliberation.
A private mediator, Frank Neuner, has been put on the case to seek a fair settlement for all parties involved. No further details are available about what may be coming next, and whether Mount Airy would be looking to compensate the plaintiffs.
Mak and Neidig filed their original complaint against the property on February 7, and accused the casino of a litany of transgressions that have to do with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act, and the Wage and Payment Collection Act.
Plaintiffs Accuse Venue of Unethical and Unlawful Employment Practices
The plaintiffs accused the property of failing to properly notify employees about tip credits, and how the property would use table game dealers’ own tip pool money to pay the overtime of dual-rate supervisors, rounding the times employees clocked in and out to the closest 15-minute interval, and – argued the complaint – calculating the tipped employees’ overtime at a lower rate than they would have normally received.
The case is no small fry either, as many as 101 co-plaintiffs now seek compensation, officially making it a class-action affair.
