A prospective class action lawsuit that potentially affects hundreds of servers at nine Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Connecticut claims the Tampa-based chain violated the minimum-wage law for time spent performing nonservice duties.
The lawsuit filed April 18 in Hartford Superior Court alleges servers regularly performed 30 to 60 minutes of nonservice work each day at $6.38 an hour. The state set the $6.38 minimum wage for service duties such as waiting tables because restaurant workers can make up the difference in tips.
The lawsuit alleges the employees should have been getting the state's $10.10 minimum wage for nonservice work such as general cleaning and stocking duties.
