Apple is being accused in a lawsuit filed by an ex-employee of breaching a New York labor law that requires companies to issue weekly paychecks to store workers who do manual labor such as, according to the complaint, “working the sales floor, unboxing products, [emptying] cash registers, and [assisting] customers.”

Raven Ramos, who worked at Apple’s Fifth Ave. store in Manhattan for more than seven years, claims the company paid her every other week, rather than weekly, as required by state law.
Filed Monday as a class action on behalf of other workers, the complaint seeks “well in excess” of $5 million from Apple for delayed compensation payments under a law often invoked in lawsuits against employers.
