The Labor Department said the Orem, Provo and food truck locations of Jurassic Street Tacos paid employees straight time for all hours worked, even when employees exceeded working 40 hours in a week, violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Along with failing to pay overtime, the department said Jurassic Street Tacos failed to "maintain accurate time records as the law requires."
"Jurassic Street Tacos denied its workers their rightful wages by not paying them the overtime premium as required by federal law. Unfortunately, this type of violation is common in the food service industry and deprives too many hard-working people of their full pay," Kevin Hunt, Wage and Hour Division district director in Salt Lake City, said in a statement.
In total, the department recovered $83,539 in back wages and $83,539 in liquidated damages to be paid to the 56 employees. "We encourage employers to contact us to make sure they understand the laws governing pay practices so they can avoid the costly consequences of not complying with the law," Hunt said.
