After a U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division (WHD) investigation, California-based discount retailer 99 Cents Only Stores LLC will pay $273,254 to 125 employees in 39 of its Arizona stores for wage and recordkeeping violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
WHD investigators found that 99 Cents Only Stores LLC violated the FLSA when it failed to pay assistant store managers in its Arizona stores for time they worked during their meal periods. The investigation determined that store cashiers and customers needing assistance regularly interrupted the managers’ 30-minute meal breaks. If employees are not free from duty during their breaks, the FLSA requires employers to pay for that time. The company’s failure to maintain accurate payroll records also resulted in recordkeeping violations.
