Ten companies, which together operate about 74 Domino’s Pizza restaurants in California, are the defendants in a proposed class and collective action that claims they failed to properly reimburse delivery drivers, causing the workers’ pay to fall below the minimum wage. According to the lawsuit, delivery drivers are required to use their own vehicles to perform their jobs and are reimbursed by the company for their mileage. The plaintiff claims, however, that the defendants’ reimbursement rate falls well below the IRS business mileage reimbursement rate. The suit argues that the restaurant owners use “a flawed method” to determine their rates and claims that the expenses drivers incur cause their wages to drop below the minimum required under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
