Two former employees of Domino's Pizza, LLC filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Domino's violated state and federal law by failing to reimburse employees for expenses they incurred while delivering pizzas. According to the lawsuit, Domino's failed to adequately reimburse its drivers, instead paying a 'per delivery' amount which was not sufficient to cover drivers' actual costs.
The lawsuit also involves minimum wage claims. Under both Minnesota law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, all employees are entitled to be paid the minimum wage "free and clear" of obligations to their employer. The lawsuit alleges that by requiring pizza delivery drivers to pay for their own automobile expenses, Domino's also failed to pay their drivers the minimum wage.
The lawsuit alleges that Domino's required employees to subsidize their business by paying for their own automobile and gas expenses.
