Attorneys at Hayber, McKenna & Dinsmore secured a $1.3 million judgment against Chip’s Family Restaurant, a local chain, in a class action alleging servers were not paid the minimum wage when performing nonservice work.

Filed in 2017, this case was the beginning of many class actions filed against Connecticut restaurants for violating Connecticut Regulation Section 31-62-E4, which states that “if an employee performs both service and non-service duties, and the time spent on each is definitely segregated and so recorded, the allowance for gratuities as permitted as part of the minimum fair wage may be applied to the hours worked in the service category.”
