Austin Rainville v. Mel's Drive-in, et al Class Action

Plaintiff's Allegations

A proposed class-action lawsuit has been filed by former employee Austin Rainville("Plaintiff") against Mel’s Drive-in on behalf of non-exempt employees in California who have worked as servers, cooks, soda jerks, bussers, dishwashers, food runners, chefs, and/or cashiers at Mel’s Drive-in restaurants at any time since February 8, 2004. The case is Austin Rainville v. Mel’s Drive-in, et al., Case No. BC385194 (Los Angeles Superior Court).

In his lawsuit, Plaintiff contends that Mel’s Drive-in did not comply with the requirements under California law for payment of wages.. If successful, a class action allows former and current employees to receive back wages that are owed to them.

Mel’s Drive-in denies the claims in their entirety and believes that it has followed California law with respect to the payment of wages to its employees. The court has not yet ruled on any of Plaintiff's allegations or determined whether the case is appropriate for class action status.
