Hawaii’s Buzz’s Original Steak House will return $150,000 in tips and other back wages to 109 employees at its Kailua and Pearl City restaurants after the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found the eateries violated the wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. During a two-year period, an investigation determined cash wages of tipped employees were reduced below the minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, and servers were unlawfully required to pay a portion of their tips to managers.
