Pins Mechanical Co. – Wage Violations Lawsuit

Pins Mechanical Co. - Wage Violations

A federal lawsuit has been filed against Rise Brands, Inc., the parent company of Pins Mechanical Co., 16-Bit Bar + Arcade, and No Soliciting, alleging widespread violations of federal and state wage and hour laws that impacted bartenders and servers at locations across the country. The lawsuit claims that tipped employees were forced to share their tips with non-tipped staff members, including managers and individuals on the so-called “experience team.” Further, bartenders were required to report to work at least an hour before their scheduled shifts and stay well after closing, performing tasks like cleaning, restocking, and equipment checks, all while being paid less than minimum wage and unable to earn tips during those times.

If you’re a current or former tipped employee of Rise Brands, especially Pins Mechanical Co. and believe you were affected by these practices, you may be eligible to join the lawsuit and seek compensation. For more information, please see the Complaint HERE.
