(NEW YORK CITY) - The owner of Luxury Clothing Brand Salon 1884 was indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for allegedly forcing Employees to work long hours while stealing up to $54,000 of wages.

Andrea Marshal, 44, has been charged with one count of grand larceny, one count of scheming to defraud, one count of effect of failure to secure compensation, and five counts of failure to pay wages in accordance with Labor Law.

Marshal allegedly stole 924 hours of time worked from nine Workers.

Employees worked consecutive overnight shifts, Bragg alleged, with Seamstresses in the Company's 39th Street Warehouse working more than 40 hours a week, including shifts that lasted between 12 and 17 hours.

In at least two instances, Bragg alleged, Employees worked more than 100 hours in one week.

“As alleged, Andrea Marshall, the owner of Salon 1884, exploited and stole approximately ($54,000) in wages from her Employees while selling luxury garments," Bragg said. “She preyed on the significant power imbalance of her Employees who relied on the promised wages for housing and basic living expenses, feared retaliation and lacked the financial resources to pursue legal recourse. Hard-working New Yorkers deserve every dollar they earn."

Marshall directly controlled her Employees by setting their schedules, overseeing their punch-ins and punch-outs as well as determining their rates of pay, Prosecutors allege.

She paid Workers through Zelle, checks or cash, but delayed Workers' payments after their work had already been completed.

Prosecutors allege, at times, Marshall offered clothing in lieu of wages and proposed partial payment plans that she did not honor.
