Waitress claims Jay-Z made her work for tips

by FULLMETAL

WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 2007

On May 22nd Celeste Williams, a former employee of Jay-Z’s highly successful 40/40 club filed a lawsuit against the club on her and other employees behalf. The suit claims that “Jay-Z and co-owner Juan Perez of willfully failing and refusing to pay them at the legally required minimum wage for all hours worked and time and a half rates for work in excess of forty hours per work-week.”

An attorney for Williams states that other employees refuse to speak up due to fear of retaliation. On the other side, club spokesman Ron Berkowitz said “That certainly is not true.” “Everyone makes the minimum wage at the club, 100%.

Wiz disappear for a minute, what up homie.

billtimore, all restaurant workers make the minimum wage, that why waiters work so hard for tips, why should the 40/40 be any different.Oh I get it, because it's Jay-Z he should pay more then the rest of the American restaurant employers.

dumb ass niggas in fantasy land. that shows how ignorant yall clowns is. when you have a business like that (especially as big as the 40/40) theres something called a W2. the federal government monitors and regulates that shit anually which means yearly for you illiterate ass niggas. how can you not pay your employees. in order for the goverment to get paid your employees have to get paid. its more complicated then that but i aint explaining shit to you stupid motha fuckers. the niggas with a brain understand wut im talkin about
