Justin Timberlake has been taking lessons at the Jay-Z school of employee relations, or at least that would be a sensible assertion, after learning that Asshat is being taken to court over his Southern Hospitality restaurant [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
According to reports:
A busboy is suing Justin Timberlake, saying the pop star’s Manhattan barbecue joint didn’t pay him a legal wage.
Felipe Ramales says in a federal lawsuit filed Friday that he worked for Timberlake’s Southern Comfort restaurant for about a year.
The suit says Ramales and other staffers didn’t get their proper share of a gratuity charge the restaurant automatically collected from parties with six or more diners.
The busboy also says he worked more than 40 hours per week without getting overtime.
The lawsuit also names other partners in the restaurant.
Seems that the principle of paying employees a suitable wage, above that of the minimum, is neither hither-nor-thither, when you are a celebrity. I guess ASSHAT assumed that the pleasure of being allowed to bask in his asshatty light was payment enough, for the minions lucky enough to have been in his company. Not so Asshat. Not so. Overtime is a big no-no!
As a blogger, I am my own boss and work little more than a 30-hour-work week, if that… and would not hesitate to take myself to court, if I were ever required to work any effing overtime!
DO YOU BELIEVE THE EMPLOYEE - OR - THINK HE IS AFTER JT’S CASH?
