A settlement agreement with the operator of a Little Caesars restaurant in Redwood City was reached to pay $409,457 in back wages to 32 workers after an investigation found the employer failed to pay them the required minimum wage and overtime, in violation of federal wage law, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The agreement follows an investigation by the department’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 May 2022 and May 2025. The division found that the employer failed to pay employees time and a half overtime rates for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek but instead paid them straight time for those hours. In addition, the employer neglected to pay some employees for all hours worked, resulting in minimum wage violations.
The investigation also found FLSA recordkeeping violations, including discrepancies between time sheet totals and payroll records that affected overtime computations, according to the Labor Department.
Employers and workers can call the division with questions and requests for compliance assistance at its toll-free helpline, (866) 4US-WAGE (487-9243).
