Richard A. Mormile

Labor Consultant / Monitor / Mediator

Specializing in Wage and Hour Laws

Based upon my 40 years of service working for the US Department of Labor/Wage and Hour Division as an Investigator, a successful negotiator, and a Manager, I am in a unique position to guide and assist you on labor issues, whether you are an employee, employer, or legal representative.

SERVICES PROVIDED:

• Information and guidance to address labor law questions

• Proactive compliance reviews-

• Advice, guidance, and representation to successfully negotiate an ongoing investigation

• Mediation of Wage and Hour private action suits

• Guidance and assistance in pursuing private action suits for employees

• Qualified Monitor and professional witness

Employers and Legal Representatives

After four decades of cutting edge investigations, negotiations and management, there is little I have not encountered.  I know the correct course of action to take to minimize your exposure, explain the government’s position and their likely course of actions and help keep your firm or client on the path to compliance.

I am a highly qualified Monitor for federal and NY State labor laws.  Also, I can provide expert mediation services on Wage and Hour disputes.  I know the law, I am a fact finder, and I understand the importance of listening to both sides and working toward a satisfactory resolution for both the employer and employee.

Employees

I have helped thousands of employees throughout my career receive tens of millions of dollars in back wages and penalties.  Labor law is my expertise.  I am a skillful and successful negotiator and I can quickly assess the facts of your employment situation and determine how it relates to the law.  I can assess your employment problems and connect you to a number of highly successful plaintiff attorneys.

LITIGATION EXPERIENCE

During my years with the US Department of Labor, I have developed, negotiated and managed numerous cases for litigation, all with successful results. Some of these cases were precedent setting, such as:

• Superior Care, which sets the standard for defining the criteria for the independent contractor issue

• Sabhnani Long Island Slave Case, which set the precedent for liquidated damages awarded in a human trafficking case

• Bombay Kitchen, which set the precedent of Wage and Hour linking a civil Consent Judgment to a criminal plea agreement.

• Other examples of some of the significant cases I was directly involved with; 

  • Westbury Manor     Asian Moon     Colony Diner     Tai Show     EM &T Gas Stations     Mama’s Pizza     Gino’s Pizza Restaurant

  • Metropolis Diner     Chateau Briand     Waldbaums     Advanced Burglar Alarm     Flower Time     Long Island Lighting Company

  • Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation     CCTV     Peace Security     Above All Maintenance    Xaga Restaurant
