The Green Sage Cafe lawsuit is a class action lawsuit filed in 2021 by employees of the restaurant chain, alleging that the company violated their rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act (NCWHA).
The lawsuit alleges that Green Sage Cafe failed to pay employees overtime wages, failed to pay employees the minimum wage, and failed to allow employees to take breaks and meals. The lawsuit also alleges that Green Sage Cafe retaliated against employees who complained about these violations.
Green Sage Cafe has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that it is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations. The lawsuit is still pending, and it is unclear how it will be resolved.
If you are a current or former employee of Green Sage Cafe and you have any concerns about your wages or working conditions, you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options.
Here are some tips for protecting yourself from wage and hour violations:
- Keep a record of your hours worked and your wages earned.
- Be aware of your rights under the FLSA and the NCWHA.
- If you believe that your employer is violating your rights, speak to a manager or HR representative.
- If you are not satisfied with the response you receive, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor or the North Carolina Department of Labor.
- You may also want to consider contacting an attorney to discuss your legal options.
It is important to note that the FLSA and the NCWHA protect all employees, regardless of their immigration status. If you are an undocumented worker, you still have the right to be paid fairly and to have your working conditions protected by law.
