Restaurants to pay Back Wages to Employees for Minimum Wage and Overtime Violations

Published Tuesday, November 25, 2014 12:42 pm



Fifty-eight restaurant employees will receive back pay in a settlement with two restaurants operating in Boise, Idaho.  The payments result from improper practices, including paying employees for overtime at straight time rates instead time and a half.  The restaurants also misclassified managers as exempt from overtime, while paying them at hourly ? instead of salaried ? rates.  Minimum wage requirements went unmet due to reductions in server pay to pay for uniforms.  To remedy these improper practices, the restaurants will pay more than $26,000 in back wages to 58 employees.
