Cooks, Servers, and other Restaurant Workers

Cooks, servers, and other restaurant workers are often pressured to work off the clock or not paid for all hours worked or for overtime, or improperly paid on salary basis instead of hourly or (in the case of servers) not paid minimum wage in addition to tips. In addition, restaurant managers and assistant managers (who are paid on a salary basis) are often pressured or encouraged to perform other workers’ duties in addition to their own responsibilities, which (depending on the amount of such work performed and other factors) can result in employer wage liability to the managerial staff. Milhaupt and Cohen has recovered significant amounts for many restaurant employees.
