The Almanac states: "A 69-year-old housekeeper has filed a federal lawsuit against an Atherton [California] couple, claiming the pair engaged in illegal employment practices by requiring her to work long hours at far below minimum wage for four years. She is seeking $120,000 in damages. The couple is denying the allegations, but not commenting further, said their attorney, Elizabeth Tippett of Palo Alto-based Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Vilma Serralta of San Mateo, who brought the suit, led a group of domestic workers in a protest march along Isabella Avenue in Atherton on Thursday, March 13, [2008] that culminated in a press conference in front of the home of Sakhawat and Roomy Khan. The 9,400-square-foot home is currently on the market with an asking price of $17.9 million. Ms. Serralta said that as a live-in domestic worker for the Khans for four years, she worked 13- and 14-hour days, six or seven days a week, without being paid overtime, or even minimum wage. 'It is the responsibility of anyone who decides to employ someone to learn the basics of employment law,' said Carole Vigne, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center in San Francisco. 'Clearly, her employers are sophisticated people. We don't have too much information about (them), but we do know they work from home and appear to run their own business.'"
