Have you worked as a server or bartender at Fishmonger? You may be owed wages.

Our law firm filed a collective action lawsuit in Tennessee federal court under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) on behalf of tipped employees who have worked at the Fishmonger restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee at anytime since January 21, 2023. In this case, “tipped employees” are workers paid a sub-minimum wage of less than $7.25 per hour, plus customer tips. Examples of tipped employees are servers and bartenders.

The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that tipped employees at Fishmonger were required to share a portion of their customer tips with employees who do not interact with customers (or have very little interaction with customers). The lawsuit also alleges that tipped employees, like servers and bartenders, were required to perform substantial amounts of non-tipped work (such as opening and closing “side work”) both before the restaurant was open to customers and after customers were no longer being served, all while being paid less than minimum wage. Some examples of non-tip-producing work are janitorial/cleaning and stocking work performed before the restaurant was opened to customers—when no customer tips could be earned—and similar work performed after employees were done serving customers.
