Two Burger King franchise owners in San Francisco didn't get away with trying to have it their way. They're now answering charges of wage theft and owe 230 employees $2.2 million for not compensating overtime work, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Elena Kadvany reported.
That breaks down to: $724,000 in unpaid wages and $371,000 in interest, plus $1.2 million worth of penalties, the California Labor Commissioner’s Office ruled. From 2016 to 2019, these employees worked at six Burger King franchises run by Golden Gate Restaurant Group, all of which have since shuttered.
