Restaurant servers are primarily occupied with keeping customers happy and most of their wages come from tips. Tipped employees include restaurant staff, bartenders and all tipped employees under the FLSA. Like all workers, they deserve fair compensation for the work they do. But tipped employees can often fall victim to labor law violations.
Case in Point
A lawsuit against the Olive Garden in Mesquite, TX, is a case in point. The lawsuit claims the company violated the FLSA wage and hour laws by failing to record employee's hours correctly. The lawsuit seeks back wages for 140 current and former employees who claim they were not properly compensated according to the FLSA.
