Wage and hour lawsuits argue that the Steak ‘n Shake restaurant manager ordered to match the number of hours for employees who work more than 40 hours a week, to avoid overtime pay wages. In fact, the lawsuit claimed the documents were created by the Steak ‘n Shake is called “an audit trail report,” which shows the edited “clock in” and “clock” time to hourly employees.
In addition, the suit claims chain burger neglected to pay the minimum wage that is right for the server to get tips, by adjusting the number of false tip to reflect higher amounts.
