Kabir v. The Masalawala LLC - Case Summary
What Happened
Kabir filed a lawsuit against The Masalawala LLC, a restaurant company, alleging wage theft—meaning the employer failed to pay wages owed according to federal wage laws. The case was filed in New York federal court in May 2023.
What the Court Decided
Rather than go to trial, both sides agreed to settle the dispute. The court ordered the parties to submit their settlement agreement and supporting documents within 30 days for the judge to review and approve. No specific dollar amount in damages was publicly reported.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case demonstrates that workers can successfully challenge wage theft claims, even without going to court. Settlements often result when employers recognize the strength of wage violation claims. Workers facing similar situations—unpaid wages, improper deductions, or overtime violations—should know they have legal rights under federal wage laws and can pursue claims against their employers.
