The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $613,037 in back wages for 46 workers after a federal investigation found a Minnesota restaurant failed to pay minimum and overtime wages as required by law.
Investigators with the department’s Wage and Hour Division investigated four of the employer’s nine Minnesota locations, and found that Rehman LLC, IN LLC, IQ LLC, and MOON LLC – all operating as NY Gyro – failed to maintain records of hours worked, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s record keeping provisions. In addition, the employer violated wage laws when it paid workers straight-time pay for all hours worked, including those over 40 per workweek, resulting in overtime violations. The division also found a minimum wage violation when NY Gyro paid an employee less than the required $7.25 per hour federal minimum wage.
