A Parlier carniceria has agreed to pay more $100,000 to its employees after it was found to be in violation of federal labor laws.

The restaurant, Colima’s Carniceria y Taqueria, was charged with failing to pay employees time-and-a-half their regular hourly rates for hours worked beyond 40 in a week, a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, according to a report released by the United States Department of Labor.

The report also states that the employers failed to make, keep and preserve accurate records of the wages, hours and other conditions and practices of employment.

The restaurant and its owners, Maria and Martin Cobian, agreed to pay $50,000 in overtime due to the workers and an equal amount in damages.

“We look forward to continuing the work with employers and workers alike in the Central Valley to ensure they understand federal labor requirements for overtime and minimum wage,” said Nora Pedraza, the Wage and Hour Division’s assistant director in Fresno. “This settlement puts money back in workers’ pockets while also ensuring the company complies with the Fair Labor Act in the future.”
