Fitapelli & Schaffer filed a class and collective action against Public House Investments, LLC for failing to pay proper wages to tipped employees including servers, bussers, runners and bartenders. The lawsuit is brought on behalf of all tipped employees who worked at the following bars over the past six years: Public House, Butterfield 8, Tammany Hall and Wicker Park. The allegations include failure to pay minimum wage ($7.25 per hour), overtime (time and one half over 40 hours per week), spread of hours (one extra hour of minimum wage if work over 10 hours per day) and misappropriated gratuities for special events. These are all common violations in the restaurant industry.
