Cecilia Baza, 25, said she knew the whole time she worked as a cashier at a Wingstop restaurant in East Long Angeles that she was not earning minimum wage.
Far West Restaurant Group, which franchises the two Wingstops, agreed to the settlement — the largest since the county’s minimum wage law went into effect in 2016, setting the wage floor for all businesses operating in unincorporated L.A. County.After auditing payroll records and time cards and interviewing employees, the county found the two Wingstop locations repeatedly flouted the minimum wage rules from 2017 to 2021, shortchanging their employees by as much as $2.
The county did not look into the wage practices of Wingstops operated by Far West Restaurant Group in the county’s incorporated cities. County Supervisors Holly Mitchell and Hilda Solis, in whose districts the two Wingstops are located, both issued statements praising the worker who had brought the wage violations to the county’s attention.
