A proposed class/collective action filed in Michigan alleges Domino’s Pizza, Inc. habitually pays drivers less than the hourly minimum wage mandated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Maryland labor laws. The 18-page lawsuit, more specifically, alleges the defendant’s systematic under-reimbursement of delivery drivers for wear and tear on their vehicles, gasoline, and other driving expenses has thereby caused the workers to make “well below the minimum wage.”

“[Domino’s] systematic failure to adequately reimburse delivery drivers for their automobile expenses constitutes a kickback to [the company], such that the hourly wages it pays and had paid to [the plaintiff] and other delivery drivers are not paid free and clear of all outstanding obligations to [Domino’s],” the lawsuit alleges, noting the plaintiff and proposed class members are paid the tipped minimum wage to which Domino’s is allegedly obligated to add fully reimbursed vehicle expenses.
