GovDocs helps customers keep up to date with changes to Federal laws, like the FSLA.
Applebee’s is getting its day in court to address charges by its employees who claim the restaurant chain violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by paying non-waiter workers $2.13 an hour, which is the minimum wage for workers who work for tips. The FLSA states that workers engaged with work that leads to tips in excess of $30 a month can receive the $2.13 hourly rate. At issue is the definition of “engaged.” The U.S. Supreme Court refused to stop the case from moving forward, and it is set to go to trial this September at the U.S. District Court of Western Missouri.
With 1,900 franchise locations across the U.S., Applebee’s is among many large employers who may find managing labor law compliance challenging.
