Recently, pizza chains and other employers employing delivery drivers have learned a hard lesson of not paying their drivers the appropriate minimum wage. In many instances, these employers are not aware of the requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Many employers think that since a delivery driver receives tips and agreed to a fixed rate per delivery, the driver need only be paid the minimum wage for tipped employees. However, as many employers have recently learned in court, not paying attention to an employee’s actual wage and their personal expenses on the clock can be a costly mistake.
