Pizza Hut settles overtime suits for $12.5 million

July 4, 2006

The Courier-Journal: Pizza Hut has agreed to pay $12.5 million to settle two class-action lawsuits involving overtime pay for managers at its company-owned restaurants.

The deal would end a federal lawsuit claiming Pizza Hut improperly classified restaurant managers as exempt from overtime pay, even though most of their duties involved handling food, ringing up checks and cleaning up, much like workers who get overtime.
