MDPCE Files Suit On Behalf Of Pizza Hut Delivery Drivers
On October 25, Meiselman, Denlea, Packman, Carton & Eberz P.C. filed suit against CFL Pizza, a Florida Pizza Hut franchisee on behalf of Pizza Hut delivery driver, Curtis Hanna, and thousands of other Pizza Hut delivery drivers in Florida.
Although Florida law -- along with federal law and the law of many other states -- requires that Pizza Hut fully reimburse its delivery drivers for car-related expenses, Pizza Hut systematically under-reimburses its drivers. As a result, many Pizza Hut delivery drivers are effectively making less than the minimum wage.
The lawsuit filed by Meiselman, Denlea, Packman, Carton & Eberz seeks money for Pizza Hut delivery drivers to make up for Pizza Hut's systematic under-reimbursement. The lawsuit also seeks to change Pizza Hut's policy going forward, so that all Pizza Hut delivery drivers in the State of Florida will be properly reimbursed for their car-related expenses.
If you are a delivery driver and you believe your employer may not be properly reimbursing you for car-related expenses, please contact us to discuss your legal options.
