Some Domino’s Pizza workers will soon be rolling in dough.
Four franchise owners who controlled 29 Domino’s Pizza stores across the state had to cut Attorney General Eric Schneiderman a $970,000 slice of their pie.
The owners copped to a slew of labor violations, including breaking minimum wage, overtime and other basic labor laws, Schneiderman’s office said.
His deal also included a former owner who had six Domino stores statewide.
A formal announcement of the settlement was expected Tuesday.
Similar agreements were struck last year with 26 other Domino’s franchise owners.
“In the past two years, the owners of over fifty New York Domino’s franchise locations have admitted to violations of some of the most basic labor law protections— an appalling record of ongoing disregard for workers’ rights,” Attorney General Schneiderman said.
The violations occurred between 2008 and 2014, according to his office, and included:
* Paying delivery workers below minimum wage
* Failing to pay overtime or under-paying overtime
* Not reimbursing delivery workers who used their own cars
* Not reimbursing delivery workers who used their own bicycles to work
* Violating a state requirement for an additional hour of overtime for workers whose daily shifts exceed 10 hours
* Violating a state requirement that a worker sent home early get paid for at least three hours
* Taking “tip credits” without tracking gratuities and assigning tipped workers to kitchen shifts for more time than legally permitted at the tipped hourly wage
The largest Domino’s owner — based in Washington Heights — to reach an agreement paid $675,000 to settle the charges against him.
