Alfonso v. 384 3rd Ave Rest LLC

**Restaurant Worker Brings Wage Violation Case** Alfonso, a worker at a restaurant operated by 384 3rd Ave Rest LLC, filed a lawsuit claiming the restaurant violated federal wage and hour laws. The case was brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which sets rules about minimum wage, overtime pay, and other workplace protections for workers. The specific details of what Alfonso claimed the restaurant did wrong are not available, but FLSA cases typically involve issues like not paying minimum wage, failing to pay overtime for hours worked over 40 in a week, or making illegal deductions from paychecks. The case was filed in federal court in New York in November 2021. Unfortunately, the final outcome of this case is not known from the available information, so it's unclear whether Alfonso won or lost, or if the case was settled. **What this means for workers:** This case shows that restaurant and food service workers have legal options when employers don't follow wage laws. The Fair Labor Standards Act protects workers' rights to proper pay, and employees can take legal action when these rights are violated. Workers in similar situations should document their hours and pay to protect themselves.
