Mexican-American Restaurant OT Suit Allowed To Proceed
Law360 (February 25, 2021, 7:41 PM EST) An overtime lawsuit by restaurant workers against a Mexican-American restaurant chain can proceed, a Kansas federal judge ruled, rejecting the chain s arguments that the main server behind the action didn t demonstrate she is owed any overtime pay.
U.S. District Court Judge Toby Crouse determined that server Kira Florece s claims that Jose Pepper s and its owner, Edward Gieselman, used a variety of artifices to bilk workers on overtime pay were substantial enough to allow the proposed class and collective action to move forward, according to the order filed Wednesday.
