So someone called the labor board and they did an investigation of the place and teh owners had to pay him and the sous chefs a lot of money for overtime pay. |
I had a situation where I was paid a salary, titeld Assistant Kitchen Manager, and then worked 90% of my time on the line.
When I left I was succesful in getting back paid overtime through the labor commission.
Different states have different laws, and I'm not even sure what the law is locally now.
Worth looking into, but if the business folds, it may come to naught.
