RWDT Foods Inc., a North Carolina company that operates 11 Denny’s Restaurants, and two individuals are the defendants in a proposed collective action over alleged wage and hour violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The former server at the defendants’ Suwanee, Georgia location who filed the lawsuit alleges she and proposed collective members were unlawfully required to:

• Work off the clock without pay
• Work overtime without being paid at the proper time-and-a-half hourly rate
• Receive wages at a reduced hourly “tip credit” rate even though the employees spent more than 20 percent of their work time on non-tipped activities
• Report tips as being greater than what they actually were to play into the defendants’ alleged use of an artificially inflated amount the parties use to calculate “minimum wage make-up pay”
