He says he was terminated in April 2015, but rehired in May 2015. However, throughout his employment he accuses Kandi of failing to pay overtime pay or the required minimum wage.

Winston filed suit for a declaratory judgement stating Kandi violated The Fair Labor Standards Act, the entire pay and overtime he is owed, along with liquidated damages in an additional amount equal to back pay and benefits along with his attorney fees and interest.
