Bojangles’ Restaurants, Inc. and parent company Bojangles’, Inc. are facing a proposed collective action filed by two former employees who claim the defendants misclassified them as exempt from overtime wages. According to the suit, the plaintiffs worked a minimum of 50 hours per week without receiving time-and-a-half overtime wages, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). They claim that they do not meet the qualifications for exempt positions under the FLSA and were unlawfully denied overtime pay for the defendants’ benefit.

Furthermore, the complaint alleges that the defendants took unlawful deductions from employees’ wages when they were absent for part of the day or were not provided with enough work to do.
