SERVING THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA AREA AND BEYOND

This class and collective lawsuit seeks unpaid overtime wages for Steak 'n Shake restaurant "managers" who were paid a salary and denied overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week. The lawsuit is going forward in the United States District Court in Indiana. The lawsuit alleges that Steak 'n Shake violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (“IMWL”), and the Ohio Minimum Fair Wage Standards Act (“OMFWSA”) by failing to pay extra "overtime" compensation when the managers worked over 40 hours per week. According to the lawsuit, the managers are entitled to overtime pay because, among other reasons, they spend most of their time performing the same type of non-managerial work as the restaurant's hourly employees. The company denies violating any laws.

This lawsuit is concluded. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or desire any additional information. We would be happy to answer your questions and, if permitted, provide you with additional information.
