This document is a complaint filed in United States District Court by nine plaintiffs against six defendants. The plaintiffs, who worked as entertainers at various clubs owned by the defendants, allege that the defendants violated federal and state wage laws by failing to pay minimum wage, overtime wages, and allowing employees to keep their tips. The complaint provides background on the parties, describes the plaintiffs' job duties and the defendants' control over their employment, and alleges that the defendants misclassified the plaintiffs as independent contractors when they were actually employees under the law. The complaint brings two counts, for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and Virginia state wage law.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

b. The schedules she was allowed to work;
c. The manner in which she interacted with customers;

25. Despite the fact that Defendants controlled the entirety of Plaintiffs’ employment,
Defendants told Plaintiffs they were independent contractors.
26. Defendants began requiring Plaintiffs and other workers to sign various documents.
In some cases the documents stated that Plaintiffs were employees; in other documents it stated
they were independent contractors.
27. Defendants did not pay Plaintiffs a regular rate of at least $7.25 per hour, which is

allowed for breaks.

Case 3:20-cv-00008-HEH Document 1 Filed 01/07/20 Page 6 of 13 PageID# 99
7. 7
paid in order to work a shift at the Defendant’s places of business, fees for arriving to work late,

Plaintiffs.

clubs.

overtime hours worked, and overtime wages earned as required by the FLSA.

Plaintiffs.
37. Defendants’ pay practices have deprived Plaintiffs of overtime pay when they
worked more than 40 hours per week.
38. Defendants’ pay practices have deprived Plaintiffs of the statutorily-required
minimum wage.
39. Defendants’ pay practices have deprived Plaintiffs their right to keep all of the tips

half rate for all overtime hours worked. Defendants failed to do so.

42. On March 23, 2018, Congress amended the FLSA to clarify that tips may not be
shared with management employees. See 29 USC § 203(m)(2)(B).
43. Defendants’ insistence that Plaintiff pay a “house fee” derived solely from her tips
Case 3:20-cv-00008-HEH Document 1 Filed 01/07/20 Page 7 of 13 PageID# 100
8. 8
is a per se violation of the FLSA’s prohibition of management sharing in tips.

applies to preclude Plaintiffs from being paid minimum wage or at one and one-half times her
regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 per week.

wage, overtime, and continuing to charge "house fees" from its employees after Congress amended
the FLSA to explicitly prohibit the same.

wage and overtime pay each was entitled to under the FLSA, or acted with reckless disregard for
Plaintiffs’ rights under the FLSA.
Class and Collective Allegations

Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b) and as a Class under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure.
48. This action is brought on behalf of Plaintiffs and a class consisting of similarly
situated employees who performed work for Defendants as entertainment employees.
49. The size of the putative class is believed to be in excess of 40 or more employees.
The names of all potential members of the putative class are not known.

Case 3:20-cv-00008-HEH Document 1 Filed 01/07/20 Page 8 of 13 PageID# 101

putative class.
53. A class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient
adjudication of this controversy.

already resolved her claim against Defendants in the cases of Banks v. BTF3, Case No. 3:18-cv-

employees; and (iv) maintained employment records for the Clubs.
