Enclosed is a Consent to Sue form allowing you to join a lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of all Analysts, Techs, Specialists, and those with similar job titles who work or have worked within the Medical Center Information Technology division and provide technological support to NYU Langone operations and who were classified by NYU Langone as exempt from overtime and were not paid time and one half for hours over 40 worked in one or more weeks. The case refers to these titles collectively as “I.T. Support Employees.” The lawsuit seeks unpaid overtime wages and liquidated damages and is being heard by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Court has authorized HKM Employment Attorneys, LLP, and Outten & Golden, LLP, the lawyers representing the I.T. Support Employees, to send you this notice to inform you of your right to file a Consent to Sue form to join this case. NYU Langone is represented by the law firm of Baker & Hostetler LLP, 45 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10111. If you do not sign and date the attached Consent to Sue, you will not join this lawsuit, and you will not be able to receive a share of any settlement or judgment that I.T. Support Employees may obtain under federal law. If you sign, date, and return the attached Consent to Sue, you will join the lawsuit, and you will be bound by the results of the litigation, whether favorable or unfavorable. 

You will not be obligated to pay the lawyers for their costs or legal fees to participate, except that the Court may award the lawyers’ fees either as a share of any fund awarded to the class or based on their billings to be paid by NYU Langone, if the case is successful. If the case is unsuccessful, the lawyers will be paid nothing, and you will not owe any money for attorneys’ costs or fees. By joining this lawsuit, you may be required to provide information to NYU Langone's lawyers and/or the Court in writing or in-person.
