A group of current and former workers at a property management group that handles a high-profile apartment building in New York City have alleged that supervisors improperly recorded employee time and didn't provide them with adequate compensation.

The class-action suit, filed by a group of employees that could expand to include almost 900 in all, was recently put up for dismissal by the defendants, which include the company itself as well as the organization's director of finance, according to legal source Law 360. The action includes a claim that the time clocks used by the business rounded worker hours down and led to unfair compensation favoring the employer. It also claims that differences in pay structure like shift differentials weren't included in overtime calculations.

Another New York lawsuit, this one relating to pay discrepancies at an area supermarket chain, highlights the increasing trend for top-level executives to be named in Fair Labor Standards Act legislation. A recently settled suit saw the owner of the chain forced to pay close to $4 million to settle the case according to the New York Daily News.

Businesses can consider the use of attendance tracking software to produce accurate records and help avoid pay disputes.
