Fact Pattern: Mr. Gull Able Student works as a waiter at the Badplacetowork Cafe. The owner of the Café, Mr. Ronald Frump, pays all of his waitstaff $2 per hour on the theory that they “make so much money on tips, I shouldn’t have to pay them more.” Although Gull Able Student is only scheduled 38 hours per week, Mr. Frump requires all staff to show up 1 hour early everyday to roll silverware and study the specials of the day. Furthermore, if all the cleaning and station work is not completed by the end of the shift, you must stay late to finish. Staff is also required to take materials home after work at least once a week for training. Typically the training takes an additional 1 to 2 hours. Please answer the aforementioned questions about this scenario. 1) What are the potential issues arising in this scenario pursuant to the FLSA laws? 2) What if any potential liability issues arise for the employer?
