Overtime violations in the restaurant and food service industry are not uncommon, as restaurant delivery drivers, including those employed at pizza and Chinese food establishments, are among the types of employees who are most likely to be wrongfully denied overtime wages or otherwise subjected to illegal wage and hour practices. In fact, in 2008, three Saigon Grill restaurants in New York City were accused of violating minimum wage and overtime requirements and firing 22 of its food deliverymen in retaliation for seeking to enforce their employment rights. A judge ruled that three owners and managers of the Vietnamese restaurants were liable for more than $4.6 million in back wages and liquidated damages to 36 restaurant deliverymen for violations of federal and state wage and hour laws. 

Restaurant delivery drivers who were denied overtime pay may be able to participate in an unpaid overtime lawsuit to collect up to three years of back pay, as well as an equal amount in liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees.
