SEATTLE (AP) The Willows Inn, a nationally acclaimed restaurant on Lummi Island that has been accused of underpaying its employees, has agreed to pay $600,000 to settle a class-action lawsuit over wage theft accusations.
As part of the preliminary settlement, management at The Willows Inn has not admitted to any wrongdoing, The Seattle Times reported. The two employees who filed the lawsuit are bound by a non-disclosure agreement from discussing the dispute.
But in the lawsuit filed in Whatcom County Superior Court in 2017, the plaintiffs’ attorneys alleged that The Willows Inn had violated state labor and wage laws including the withholding of tips and overtime pay, and in some cases, that it did not pay employees at all for shifts worked.
