""Plaintiff and aggrieved employees frequently worked off the clock and were routinely subjected to periods wherein they were under the Defendants' control but not compensated for their time.""
""Beyond this one employee, no other employee at the French Laundry has raised any issues about underpayment. The fact is that the French Laundry complies fully with all California employment laws.""
Elena Flores Beteta, a former dishwasher at French Laundry, filed a lawsuit claiming unpaid wages and work violations affecting her and over 50 employees. The complaint alleges that employees regularly worked off the clock, performing tasks after their shifts without compensation. Beteta asserts that supervisors required staff to complete additional cleaning duties post-shift. The Thomas Keller Restaurant Group denied the allegations, stating that no other employees have raised similar concerns and that the restaurant complies with California employment laws.
