New York City Employment Lawyer

Redondo Beach, California — Hollywood Riviera, a carwash company operated by Bruno Scherrer Corp., has reached an agreement with the California Labor Commissioner to pay $450,000 in unpaid wages to sixty workers. This settlement concludes an investigation begun by the Labor Commissioner in October 2006 into the suspected underpayment of carwash employees and the violation of wage standards.

The investigation found that the carwash had improperly documented total work hours of the employees and had forced them to work only three to four hours at an hourly wage (the minimum wage) and to complete the rest of the day’s work for tips only.

Angela Bradstreet, Labor Commissioner, said that the “case reveals a deplorable situation where employees were being taken advantage of by not being paid their proper wage.”
