Park Pizza, Inc. and its two owners have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by a former employee over potential violations of federal and state labor law. The suit says the plaintiff was deprived of proper wages while working 60 hours each week as a food preparer, general helper and delivery person at the defendants’ New York City restaurant. 

According to the case, the man frequently performed unpaid labor as he “was not allowed to punch in” for all hours worked. Additionally, the case charges the plaintiff was deprived of time-and-a-half overtime wages, as well as spread-of-hours pay for shifts that lasted longer than 10 hours.

Lastly, the suit argues that while the defendants paid the plaintiff an above-minimum wage for prep work, they were not entitled to apply a tip credit to his wages for his work as a delivery person because they failed to properly notify the man of his pay rate.
