The California Labor Commissioner’s Office reached a $2 million settlement against Pearl B-Star Inc., DBA Lin’s Fusion for underpaying 32 workers.
Pearl B-Star violated state labor laws governing recordkeeping, payroll timekeeping and cash pay without wage statements, according to the office. The LCO collected wages due to 32 restaurant employees who were not paid for all hours worked over a three-year period.
The Bureau of Field Enforcement was referred the case by the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office. BOFE’s investigation began in 2019, finding that workers were paid a salary in cash and were not compensated for overtime, split shifts, meal periods and contract wages.
