Department of Industrial Relations Investigation Protecting Workers - Three Restaurants Cited

California's labor commissioner issued citations totaling more than a half million dollars to three restaurants for minimum wage, overtime and rest break violations. 

The investigations revealed the owners failed to pay overtime, provide proper rest and or meal breaks and failed  to provide employees with proper wage statements.

"Investigators with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) are the protectors of those who go to work every day to earn an honest living," said California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) President Alan Barcelona.  DIR investigators are members of CSLEA.  "There are labor laws in place for a reason and those business owners who don't comply and pay their employees by the book, are going to face penalties."
