What Was This Case About?
The plaintiffs alleged that P.F. Chang’s required servers to perform excessive non-tipped side work and consequently failed to pay the federal minimum wage. The settlement resolves the participating workers’ FLSA claims without a trial.Who Was Eligible?
The process applied to servers who had already opted into the FLSA collective and received a settlement notice. It was not a public claim process for every current or former employee.How Were Payments Determined?
Individual offers were calculated using work and payroll records, including hours allegedly paid below minimum wage and the timing of each worker’s consent to join the case. Participation required a timely release form.Official Information
