MoreSAN FRANCISCO — The city of San Francisco filed suit against a carwash here for overtime and waiting time violations, Business Management Daily reported.
The Nov. 22 story stated that the city attorney and a labor organization allege that Tower Car Wash failed to pay employees for the hours between when they arrived at work and when they were permitted to clock in.
The lawsuit seeks to recover compensation, penalties and interest that could exceed $3 million, the story noted.
According to the complaint, “although it appears on the surface that Defendants pay their employees the minimum wage (because the employees are paid minimum wage for the hours during which they are clocked in), in reality Defendants fail to pay the minimum wage, because the employees are not paid for the many hours they spend waiting to clock in.”
Tower Car Wash has a contract with San Francisco to wash city-owned vehicles, according to the story.
