VICTORY: Large Chain Restaurant Violates Minimum Wage/ Tip Share Rules
Along with co-counsel, Employment Attorney Raymond Nardo filed a collective and class action against several chain restaurants in New York State. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the restaurants unlawfully paid its waitresses below the minimum wage because it compelled waitresses to tip out the kitchen staff. In New York, it is unlawful for wait staff to share tips with owners, managers, or kitchen staff. It is also unlawful, under certain conditions, for wait staff to be compelled to pay for their uniforms.
The case settled with many waitresses receiving backpay from the employer.
Dr. Ayman Attia was found liable for $55,000 for sexually harassing an employee. New York Internal Medicine, P.C. was also found liable.
