A New Jersey restaurant failed to give some staff the minimum wage and overtime pay, the DOL said. The restaurant paid more than $300,000 to 63 members of staff following the DOL's investigation. The DOL's Wage and Hour Division said in a press release that Aquarius Restaurant Group, which runs Aquarius Seafood Restaurant in Fort Lee, had violated minimum wage and overtime pay laws. Aquarius Seafood Restaurant also used checks and cash to pay kitchen staff twice a month, the spokesperson said. They added that the minimum wage violations occurred "sporadically" throughout the period of investigation, which was from April 2019 to April 2022.

☆ A federal court ordered a New Jersey company and its co-managers to pay $712,000 to staff for deliberately denying overtime pay

A New Jersey company violated labor laws by not paying staff for the full hours they worked, the DOL said. The firm also failed to keep accurate records of staff hours and wages, the DOL said in a lawsuit. A federal court ordered the company and its co-managers to pay staff $712,000 in back wages and damages. Employees regularly worked between 45 and 54 hours a week, but the company didn't pay staff extra for overtime, the DOL said. The company paid staff in cash for overtime hours and told them not to clock out "to conceal the fact that employees worked more than forty hours a week," per the lawsuit.
