According to TMZ, The U.S. Department of Labor has fined Rick Ross company Boss Wings Enterprises LLC. for approximately $114,427 in back wages and numerous other penalties. They’ve concluded the franchises were are in direct violation of labor laws.
Sources confirm that the Department of Labor investigated a total of 5 locations and discovered that employees were making less than $7.25 an hour after a series of deductions which are said to be way below minimum wage guidelines. It has been stated that employees wages were being deducted to pay for uniforms, basic safety trainings, background checks, and cash register shortages.
A series of investigations also show that employees were being overworked. Mandatory overtime is said to have been put in place with zero extra compensation and no records of extra time on hand.
Reports show, DOL has issued claims claims that they discovered an instance o a 15-year-old employee worked past 10 PM several times back in June 2021. This also weighs in as a violation of a law prohibiting workers that young working past 7 PM.
In total DOL fined Boss Wings with $51,674 in back wages/damages for 244 workers along with additional fines of close to $63,000.
“Restaurant industry employees work hard, often for low wages, and many depend on every dollar earned to make ends meet. The law prevents Boss Wing Enterprises LLC from shifting operating costs to workers by deducting the costs of uniforms, cash register shortages or training expenses, or to allow a worker’s pay to fall below the minimum wage rate,” says the DOL.
