Georgia V. Bar Vegan Llc Et Al
Morgan Georgia, a former employee of Bar Vegan LLC, has filed a collective action lawsuit against the company and its owners, Aaron Mattison, Jason Crain, and Aisha Cole. The lawsuit alleges that Bar Vegan violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay minimum and overtime wages to hourly employees, including retaining tips received from customers. The proposed class of plaintiffs includes all servers and bartenders who worked at Bar Vegan in Atlanta, Georgia within the past three years. The lawsuit seeks to recover unpaid wages and tips for the plaintiffs, including liquidated damages and attorneys' fees and costs. The defendants are accused of willfully violating the FLSA by claiming a tip credit against their federal minimum wage obligations with respect to the plaintiffs and paying them only $2.13 per hour in direct wages. The plaintiffs are also requesting a trial by jury and any other appropriate relief to which they may be entitled.
