Inlet Harbor Inc., doing business as Inlet Harbor Restaurant, Marina & Gift Shop in Ponce Inlet, has agreed to pay $82,665 to 192 restaurant workers following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division that found violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act’s minimum wage and overtime provisions.
“This employer profited from having employees work overtime without paying them the full and fair compensation they deserve,” said Michael Young, director of the Wage and Hour Division’s Jacksonville District Office. “The Wage and Hour Division’s goal is to protect workers who often are denied the pay legally guaranteed them and make sure they receive the protections provided by federal labor law, while also ensuring that law-abiding employers are not placed at a competitive disadvantage for playing by the rules and paying fair wages.”
