New York Pizzeria Forced to Pay Employees $178K in Damages After Department of Labor Investigation

According to the Department of Labor, the pizzeria was found guilty of:

  • Paying non-exempt kitchen employees a fixed salary for all hours worked, with no additional overtime pay when they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek.
  • Calculating the overtime rate for their tipped employees based solely on the direct cash wage and not the full minimum wage rate.
  • Rounding weekly wages up or down to the nearest dollar.
  • Operating an invalid tip pooling system
