Aquarius Seafood Restaurant, which serves Cantonese food, violated the Fair Labor Standards Act minimum wage and overtime requirements, federal officials said.
The restaurant paid employees a day rate regardless of the number of hours worked, used checks and cash to pay a semi-monthly salary to kitchen staff and failed to pay tipped employees time and a half for working overtime, the U.S. Department of Labor said.
The Department of Labor also assessed a $35,274 civil fine to the restaurant.
