Rick Ross and his family are under fire in Mississippi for allegedly skimming money from the wages of their Wingstop workers.
The U.S. Department of Labor says they hit Boss Wings Enterprises LLC — Rick Ross’s company — with a $114,427 fine for back wages and other penalties after the agency determined their franchises were violating labor laws.
Unclear what period of time this covers exactly, but the DOL claims that after an investigation into 5 locations — all owned and operated by Boss Wings — they found many of the employees were taking home less than $7.25/hour after factoring in all the deductions — a big no-no under the minimum wage laws on the books.
The reason … DOL alleges the owners of these specific franchises were forcing workers to pay for uniforms, basic safety training, background checks and cash register shortages.
