• Ruby Tuesday April 25, 2012
• Bartenders and servers at New York and Florida locations of Ruby Tuesday have sued the restaurant for unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, unpaid spread-of-hours, and for requiring bartenders to make up cash shortages in the tip pool allocation between servers and food runners, hosts, and bartenders.
• • The tipped employees allege that they were forced to work off the clock and not paid for the actual
hours they worked. • The employees claim that as a result they were not paid minimum wage for the actual hours they
worked and did not receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week. • The workers also claim that they did not receive spread-of-hours pay, or an extra hour’s wage for
every shift over 10 hours. • Additionally, Ruby Tuesday is accused of improperly deducting money from the tips of the
bartenders by requiring them to use their own tips to make up for any differences in the tip-out process between the servers and hosts, food runners, and bartenders.
