Fitapelli & Schaffer filed a lawsuit on behalf of Russell Whelchel, a former employee of Penthouse and Scores, two of the largest strip clubs in New York City. We allege that our client was denied lawfully earned wages by having to pay a “house fee” every night and then having his pay reduced by 10% when he traded his “funny money” for actual currency. Strip Clubs are notorious for cheating their workers like this- entertainers and cocktail waitresses are frequently cheated. If you work in this industry, stand up for your right to be paid properly.
