PJ's Preschool accused of not paying final wages

WINFIELD - Former employees of PJ's Preschool & Daycare are suing to collect allegedly unpaid wages.

Vicki Allen, Diane Lester, Angela Gladfelter, Tara Beckett, Kal-le Schrader, Rachael Lewis, Promise Carter, Kathleen Allen, Alethea Van Alstyne and Ryan Curry filed a lawsuit Nov. 15 in the Circuit Court of Putnam County against PJ's Preschool & Daycare LLC, Pamela Matusic and Joseph Matusic, citing wage and payment violations.

The plaintiffs state they were employed by PJ's Preschool & Daycare in Winfield, which is owned by Pamela Matusic, and funds were contributed to the preschool by Joseph Matusic.

The plaintiffs either resigned or were laid off on Sept. 10 and never received their final paychecks, according to the complaint. The plaintiffs allege PJ's Preschool & Daycare is at least one month behind in paying the plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs are seeking payment of wages, liquidated damages and costs. They are being represented in the case by attorneys Richard Weston and Connor Robertson of Weston Law Office.
