Pizza - Violate Fair Wage Laws

Delivery drivers working for Pizza Hut, Kansas City filed a lawsuit against the national pizza chain alleging unfair wage practices. The Pizza Hut delivery drivers say that they received income below the required federal minimum wage.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Kansas City in May, says that delivery drivers are paid, the income that doesn’t include the cost of gas, employee’s vehicle to perform hourly wages deliveries. The hourly wage does not cover work-related cell phone usage and buying and cleaning of worker’s uniforms Pizza Hut requires. The cost to employees to work at the Pizza Hut is too high that the employee wages does not meet the minimum wage. Pizza Hut has tried to seek the dismissal of the lawsuit by stating that the company was operating within the laws and guidelines of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which permits a reasonable approximation of expenses.
