ATTENTION FLORIDA SERVERS AND BARTENDERS:
You may have thousands of dollars owed to you and not even realize it. As a former server, I fight for it every day, and have been leader in developing Florida hospitality law for almost 10 years.
Federal and State law now allow you to recover wages that should have been paid to you but were not. Did your former employer(s) withhold wages that belong to you?
If you worked in the restaurant industry in the last 5 years, were paid a “server/bartender wage” (a wage less than full minimum wage), and during your shifts were required to do ANY of the following during your “opening” or “closing” duties:
-Roll silverware
-Sweep or mop
-Polish glassware
-Brew tea or coffee
-Stock or restock condiments
-Clean bathrooms
-Change table linens
-Complete other similar “sidework”
Other circumstances which may entitle you to wages which you are owed include:
-Improper tip pools
-Employer took your tips/wages for “walk-outs”, short drawers, or broken inventory
-Working “off the clock” for any amount of time
-Mandatory but unpaid “cleaning events” or meetings
-Unpaid overtime
The law states that you may collect these unpaid wages from any previous employer within the last 5 years. In fact, you may be entitled to collect TWICE the amount owed to you, PLUS all legal fees and costs associated with your case.
I will recover these wages for you, or you will pay me nothing.
