Illescas v. Four Green Fields LLC

**Illescas v. Four Green Fields LLC - Employment Law Case Summary** This case involved a worker named Illescas who sued their employer, Four Green Fields LLC, claiming violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA is the federal law that sets rules for minimum wage, overtime pay, and other basic workplace protections. While the specific details of what went wrong aren't available, FLSA violations typically involve issues like not paying minimum wage, failing to pay overtime for hours worked over 40 per week, or misclassifying employees to avoid paying proper wages. The case was filed in federal court in New York's Southern District in March 2021. Unfortunately, the available information doesn't include the final court decision or whether any money was awarded to the worker. **What This Means for Workers:** This case represents the type of legal action workers can take when employers don't follow federal wage and hour laws. The FLSA gives employees the right to sue for unpaid wages, overtime, and other violations. Even when we don't know the outcome, these cases show that workers have legal options when employers fail to pay them properly according to federal standards.
