The operator of a pizza parlor in California must pay back wages following an investigation that showed the business did not pay the required minimum wage and overtime.
The U.S. Department of Labor reached a settlement agreement with the operator of a Little Caesars restaurant in Redwood City to pay $409,457 to 32 workers.
An investigation reportedly found the employer failed to pay workers the required minimum wage and overtime, in violation of federal wage law.
The agreement follows an investigation by the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division that found franchise operator MG Fast Food Inc. violated minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act between 2022 and 2025. The division says that the employer failed to pay employees time and one-half overtime rates for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek, instead paying straight time.
The employer also neglected to pay some employees for all hours worked, resulting in minimum wage violations, according to the division. The investigation also reportedly found record-keeping violations, including discrepancies between timesheet totals and payroll records.
