A proposed class action filed in Florida alleges Omega Empire, LLC, which does business in Miami-Dade County as Eat Greek Souvlaki, and its owner failed to pay proper overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The plaintiff, who worked as a kitchen helper and cook for 12 weeks in 2017, claims he was never paid at the time-and-a-half hourly overtime rate owed for all hours worked past 40 each workweek. Further, the plaintiff says he received late and partial payments each week and never took any bona fide lunch break during his employment. After complaining to management, the plaintiff says he was terminated.

“On or about May 8, 2017, [the plaintiff] complained to the management about not being paid complete regular wages for two consecutive weeks,” the case claims. “As a result of [the plaintiff’s] multiple complaints, [the defendants] fired [him] the same day, without paying him his hard-earned wages.”
