Singer Justin Timberlake is being sued by a busboy at his Manhattan barbecue restaurant, Southern Comfort. Not wanting to mess around, employee Felipe Ramales has taken his matter straight to federal court.
Ramales claims that he and other employees did not get their “share” of a gratuity charge that the establishment levies when parties of six or more dine at the establishment. He also contends that he worked over 40 hours per week and was never paid overtime.
Chris Russell, manager of the BBQ joint, said that this case is “baseless.” He countered the allegations by saying that not only did the workers get all the tips that were coming to them but that they were paid over and above what other busboys make.
