Mary Bond has filed a lawsuit against Big Daddy’s Oyster Bar, Inc. and its owner, David M. Sutherland, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The case alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), including failure to pay minimum wage and unlawful retaliation against employees who complained about pay practices. Bond claims that she and other employees were paid below minimum wage due to a tip credit scheme and were required to pay “house fees” which violated FLSA provisions. The suit seeks damages for unpaid wages, liquidated damages, and attorney fees.
