Brad Etheridge v. Reins International California, Inc. Question
Hello,
I am a restaurant staff member of a large chain restaurant in Orlando and have a question about Brad Etheridge v. Reins International California, Inc.
I work in the window as an expediter to make food presentation ready--and act as a liaison between the front and back of house. For 10 years have received my income by tip outs. (servers have been required to tip me at minimum 1% of their shift sales).
Last week, my company referenced this lawsuit and said that I can no longer receive tips because of it. From what I am reading, this is untrue. My tips have been taken away, and I have now become an hourly employee--at a rate that is considerably lower than the average hourly pay I have made for the last 10 years.
Is this legal? Help!
