All such suits or proceedings shall be brought in the name of the City, and no such suits or proceedings shall be held to exclude any criminal or penal remedies which may be authorized by this chapter or by any law or ordinance in force or effect in the City, or to exempt any violator of this chapter or such other law or ordinance from any penalty as may be prescribed. This section shall not be construed to eliminate, abridge or detract from any remedies, either at law or in equity, which any employee or other individual may have arising out of any breach or violation of any of the provisions of this chapter.
