Trump's Car driver filed a case for this reason

Washington, Jul 10: US President Donald Trump's longtime personal driver filed suit Monday in Manhattan, saying he is owed about $180,000 of unpaid overtime pay.

In an 11-page complaint filed in State Supreme Court against Trump Organization LLC and Trump Tower Commercial LLC, chauffeur Noel Cintron says he has been owed roughly 550 hours of uncompensated overtime pay annually for years, though he is only able to seek compensation for overtime clocked during the past six years due to the statute of limitations.

Larry Hutcher, one of Mr. Cintron's attorneys, said the amount owed to his client in overtime totals about $180,000 and, with penalties, damages and legal fees, the claim will top $300,000.

A representative for the New York-based Trump Organization said in a statement: "Mr. Cintron was at all times paid generously and in accordance with the law. Once the facts come out we expect to be fully vindicated in court."

Mr. Cintron's lawsuit follows that of another Trump Organization employee, Rakhim Urazov, who filed a similar complaint earlier this year alleging he wasn't paid overtime for several years in his job as a porter at Trump Tower in Manhattan.

As part of his job with the Trump Organization, Mr. Cintron, who is 59 years old and a Queens resident, said he was required to begin work at 7 a.m. and end whenever Mr. Trump, his family or business associates no longer needed him. He typically worked 50 to 55 hours a week, though he was paid for only 40 hours, the suit said.

Mr. Cintron was employed in that position for 25 years until recently when the Secret Service undertook the role. He now works in Trump security, Mr. Hutcher said.

Mr. Hutcher said Mr. Cintron drove a Trump-owned car and was an employee of the Trump Organization with a W-2 tax form.

As of December 2010, Mr. Cintron made $75,000 a year-the result of a rare pay raise-but the increase came with the loss of his health benefits, according to the suit.
