Restaurant to pay back wages to W.Va. workers
FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) — A restaurant has agreed to pay nearly $30,000 to workers at its Fairmont and Clarksburg locations after a federal probe turned up payroll violations.
The U.S. Department of Labor says Grand China Buffet and Grill will pay the back wages to 35 workers.
A labor department investigation found that the restaurant was paying workers below minimum wage and not paying overtime rates if they worked more than 40 hours a week.
Employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act have to be paid at least minimum wage, and must get paid at least time-and-a-half for working overtime.
Calls to the restaurants were not immediately returned Tuesday.
