If you were employed as a Tipped Worker (including servers, bussers, runners, bartenders, and barbacks) by il Buco Restaurants (“il Buco” or “Defendant”) in the State of New York between November 18, 2016 through the present, your legal rights may be affected by this settlement, and you have a choice to make now.

Two former Tipped Workers (“Named Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit asserting that Defendant failed to pay them and other Tipped Workers proper overtime wages for all overtime hours worked, as well as related wage and hour claims. Defendant denies these allegations and the Court has not made any ruling on the merits of Plaintiff’s claims. The parties have entered into a settlement with the intention to avoid further disputes and litigation with the attendant inconvenience and expense.

Named Plaintiffs and il Buco have agreed to settle this case, subject to Court approval. Il Buco has agreed to a total settlement fund for all claims of $755,000.00, including attorneys’ fees and costs.
