Three operating companies and an individual owner of Sage Woodfire Tavern in Alpharetta, Georgia have been named as defendants in a proposed class action lawsuit that claims they “arbitrarily” altered the record of employees’ hours worked to avoid paying them overtime wages. The plaintiff says she works as a server and bartender at the defendants’ restaurant and clocks in and out of the timekeeping system before and after her shifts. According to the complaint, employees can print out their time slips at the end of each shift to view the hours they worked. The suit argues, however, that the defendants would later alter the time records and reduce employees’ recorded hours in order to pay them less. As a result, the plaintiff says that she and similarly situated employees were not paid for all the hours they worked, including overtime hours.
