USA Employment Lawyers has filed a wage and hour lawsuit involving restaurants operated by American Social Hospitality Group, LLC across Florida. The case focuses on tipped, front-of-house employees and whether they were fully paid for all hours worked, including overtime and required training time. This page helps employees understand their rights and determine whether they may be eligible to join the case.

Who May Be Eligible to Join

We are speaking with current and former employees who worked in front-of-house, tipped roles, including:

• Servers
• Bartenders
• Bussers
• Food runners
• Barbacks
• Server assistants

You may be eligible to participate if you worked at an American Social location in Florida within the past 5 years and:

• Worked more than 40 hours in a workweek
• Were paid a tipped hourly rate instead of full minimum wage
• Attended meetings or training without being paid
• Performed work before clocking in or after clocking out
• Did not receive clear notice about how the tip credit was applied

Even if you are unsure, you can still reach out. Many employees are not told how pay rules work.

• Miami - 690 SW 1st Court, Miami, Florida 33130

Your Rights Under the Law

Under federal and Florida law, hourly and tipped employees are entitled to be paid for all hours they work.

If you worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, you may be entitled to overtime pay. Overtime must generally be paid at one and one-half times your regular rate.

Employers are allowed to take a tip credit, but only if they provide proper notice in advance and follow specific legal requirements. If that notice is not properly given, employees may be entitled to the full minimum wage for all hours worked.

Employees must also be paid for all time spent working. This can include time spent in mandatory meetings, training, or job-related duties performed before or after a shift.

If you worked at any of these locations during this period, you may be eligible to join this lawsuit. Contact us for a free, confidential case evaluation.
