This time, five of the company’s grill men — who said they were recruited to move from Turkey to work at the company’s US locations — have filed a lawsuit, alleging that they were stiffed on overtime pay.
The suit, which was filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, alleges that Nusret Gokce, who was nicknamed "Salt Bae" by internet users, misclassified the five employees as managers to avoid paying overtime — while insisting they regularly work seventy hours or more per week.
