DECISION AND ORDER On September 11, 2022, Plaintiff Christian Urena filed this proposed class action against Defendant Sonder USA Inc. (“Sonder”), bringing two claims alleging violations of the New York Labor Law (“NYLL”). In his First Cause of Action (“Count One”), Urena alleges Sonder paid him and his proposed class bi-weekly instead of weekly as required by NYLL §191. In his Second Cause of Action (“Count Two”), Urena alleges Sonder failed to provide him and his proposed class with the wage notice required by NYLL §195. (See Dkt. No. 1 [hereinafter "Complaint" or "Compl."].) For each claim, Urena seeks damages in the form of penalties under NYLL §198. Sonder, in turn, argues Count One should be dismissed because there is no private right of action to seek liquidated damages for violations of NYLL §191′s timely pay requirements. (See Dkt. No. 30 at 6-15.) Sonder also argues that Count Two should be dismissed for lack of standing, because Urena has not identified an injury or harm arising from the alleged failure to provide him a wage notice. (See id. at 4-6.) For the reasons below, the Court (1) GRANTS Sonder’s motion to dismiss Count Two with prejudice; and (2) ORDERS THE PARTIES TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not stay its ruling on Sonder’s motion to dismiss Count One, pending possible review by the New York Court of Appeals of the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department’s decision in Grant v. Global Aircraft Dispatch, Inc., 223 A.D.3d 712 (2024). I. BACKGROUND1 Defendant Sonder is a hospitality company incorporated under the laws of Delaware and doing business in New York. Plaintiff Urena was hired by Sonder in January 2019 to work as a maintenance engineer at Sonder’s 2 Washington Street location in New York City. He was paid approximately $27 per hour on a biweekly basis and was still employed by Sonder when he filed the Complaint. Urena’s job responsibilities include such physical tasks as demolition, plumbing work, floor installation, and drywall installation. Urena defines his proposed class as other manual workers employed by Sonder — including mechanical engineers, maintenance technicians, housekeepers, front desk workers, property managers, and others — who were likewise paid bi-weekly in violation of NYLL §191. The proposed class period begins September 11, 2016, and continues until the date a class is certified in this action. Urena filed the Complaint on September 11, 2022, bringing two claims against Sonder. On Count One, Urena contends that Sonder’s untimely wage payments violated NYLL §191(1)(a) and constituted an underpayment of wages for which he has a private right of action under NYLL §198 to seek damages, including liquidated damages in the amount of 100 percent of his wages.
