Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP filed a class action lawsuit on August 22, 2014, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Jacques Restaurant Group on behalf of all line cooks, food preparers, dishwashers, servers, bussers, runners, bartenders, and cooks (“Restaurant Workers”) who work or have worked at Jacques Brasserie located at 204 East 85th Street, New York, New York, Jacques 1534 located at 20 Prince Street, New York, New York, or The Pitch & Fork located at 1606 1st Avenue, New York, New York. The lawsuit alleges that the Restaurant Workers were not paid the proper minimum wages, overtime pay, and spread-of-hours pay as required under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law. Additionally, the lawsuit seeks to recover damages related to misappropriated gratuities, failure to provide annual wage notices, and failure to provide accurate wage statements.
