The United State Department of Labor said in a news release that owners of Rancho Loco Grill and Bar in Red Wing and Rancho Loco Mexican Grill and Bar in Cannon Falls must pay 36 workers after it was found they had underpaid them. Investigators determined most workers received only about half the pay they had earned. The ruling was passed down on June 29 in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis. Ramon Ruelas, Jorge Arcos, Nancy Arcos and Medardo Arcos are ordered to pay a total of $435,785 in unpaid overtime and minimum wages. The division found the restaurant paid servers and other front-of-the-house workers for 60 hours biweekly, regardless of the number of hours they actually worked. The employer also frequently required servers to report early for prep work but only allowed them to âpunch inâ when the first customer arrived. These practices led to the employer paying for far fewer hours than employees worked, triggering minimum wage violations.
