According to the lawsuit, employees were consistently discouraged from taking necessary breaks, facing potential discipline if they were 'not actively working at any time during a shift.'
The complaint emphasizes that staff were not permitted to leave the premises for meal breaks, being closely monitored by cameras to ensure compliance at all times.
One particularly alarming instance cited in the lawsuit includes Defendant Steven Betz's confrontational remark, 'If you don't like the way we do things here, there's the [expletive] door,' directed at staff during a meeting.
The allegation includes that employees were required to wait for tips even after clocking out, and if they chose to leave, they risked not receiving owed tips.
