Koronet Pizza Corp., which operates two restaurant locations in New York City, and its owners are facing a proposed collective action filed by three former employees who claim they’re owed unpaid wages. The plaintiffs, a former pizza maker, delivery worker and counter person, claim they regularly worked more than 40 hours per week without proper minimum, overtime, or spread-of-hours wages.

The delivery worker plaintiff alleges that although he was listed as such in the defendants’ payroll records, his actual job duties required him to spend several hours each day performing non-tipped, non-delivery tasks. To this end, the defendants allegedly took a tip credit on the man’s wages to which they were not entitled since his non-tipped duties supposedly exceeded more than 20 percent of his workday.

Further still, the complaint claims the defendants forced proposed some class members to purchasing work uniforms at their own expense without reimbursement.
