Workers File Lawsuit Against Pizza Hut Over Salary
In a class lawsuit against Pizza Hut, more than 20,000 delivery drivers accused the restaurant giant for violating the federal and state minimum laws.
The workers also alleged that the company did not reimburse job-related expenses including cell phone charges and travel costs. Meanwhile, the plaintiffs did not provide details on how much they are seeking for damages.
Pizza Hut delivery drivers accused the restaurant chain of violating the federal and state minimum wage laws, adding that the company also did not reimburse their job-related expenses, according to media reports.
In a class lawsuit filed before a federal district court in Kansas City, thousands of Pizza Hut’s drivers said they were paid through hourly wages which did not meet the minimum-wage law. Currently, the federal wage law is $6.55 per hour which will be increased to $7.25 on July 24 this year.
In the court-affidavit, the complainants also said that Pizza Hut managers had approved the practice that willfully violates the federal and state minimum wage laws.
The drivers also alleged that the restaurant giant did not provide compensation to cover the actual costs of deliveries including their expenses for their own vehicles which were used for customer deliveries.
Meanwhile, the workers also accused the company of not providing reimbursement for cell phone service charges incurred for calling customers.
In an interview with reporters, George Hanson, the legal representative of the complainants, said the class lawsuit includes more than 20,000 drivers.
Meanwhile, Hanson did not provide how much damages or settlement his clients were asking to Pizza Hut.
