Description:

Minneapolis, Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act violation employment lawyers represented the Plaintiff.

This is a Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) case involving allegations of wage and hour violations. Plaintiff is a Pizza Hut delivery driver, who brought his original Complaint (ECF 1) on his own behalf and on behalf of a putative nationwide collective of other Pizza Hut Drivers, against Defendant Muy Pizza Tejas, LLC and MUY Pizza Minnesota, LLC (together, the “Muy Defendants”), Defendant Ayvaz Pizza, LLC and Shoukat Dhanani (together, the “Ayvaz Defendants”) (collectively, all Defendants are “Defendants”). Plaintiff alleged that Defendants require him and his fellow delivery drivers to use personal vehicles to make deliveries and fail to adequately reimburse their resulting expenses, in violation of federal and common law. See id. at 1. Following motions to dismiss brought by the Defendants, this Court determined that it lacked personal jurisdiction over those FLSA claims that lacked a connection with Minnesota. See ECF 58. The Court permitted the case to go forward as to Minnesota drivers. Id.
