Mark H. Cohen
A Georgia federal judge declined to sign off on an agreement to settle a former delivery driver's lawsuit alleging unreimbursed expenses pushed his pizzeria pay below the federal minimum wage, expressing some concern about the arrangement.
A pizza eatery can't escape a former delivery driver's suit claiming unreimbursed expenses pushed his wages below the federal minimum rate, with a Georgia federal judge ruling Wednesday the ex-worker doesn't need to specify the on-the-job costs he alleged he unfairly shouldered.
A Georgia pizza delivery driver failed to estimate on-the-job costs he said he unjustly bore and thus failed to establish that unreimbursed expenses pushed his wages below the federal minimum rate, his former employer argued in a motion to dismiss a proposed collective action.
