A former technical support employee of Schulte Roth & Zabel has filed a class action lawsuit alleging that the firm denied him and other employees proper overtime compensation required by federal wage and hour laws. The suit was filed on Monday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District on behalf of Keith McKenzie, a former desktop support technician who worked in Schulte Roth’s Manhattan office from April 2001 to April 2010.
“We believe that Mr. McKenzie’s claims are without merit and we will respond in due course in the court proceeding,” Gary Fiebert, Schulte Roth’s executive director, said in a statement to The Am Law Daily, an affiliate of the New York Law Journal.
