Pizza Delivery Driver Lawsuits

Forester Haynie has recovered over 10 million dollars for pizza delivery drivers as of December 2020

Are You Being Paid Fairly?

At Forester Haynie, we understand the demands and financial pressures delivery drivers face, especially pertaining to vehicle costs. Drivers frequently contend with unfair labor practices, including sub-minimum wage pay, insufficient mileage/expense reimbursement, and failure to receive overtime. 

These practices are often illegal, and Forester Haynie is here to help. A majority of our cases involve companies using incorrect mileage reimbursement rates. Paying low mileage reimbursement rates means companies are not properly compensating their employees, and Forester Haynie can help you receive the pay you deserve.

Minimum Wage Violations

Forester Haynie takes minimum wage and FLSA violations very seriously. There are limited circumstances in which companies are allowed to legally pay below the federal minimum wage. One such industry that takes advantage of this narrow exception is the pizza delivery driver industry. 

Pizza businesses cut costs by paying below minimum wage, while also adding delivery fees for customers that don’t go towards compensating drivers, which further contributes to their low earnings. Even if reimbursement is provided, the compensation falls short of the actual costs, forcing drivers to cover the gap in costs themselves. As pizza delivery driver lawsuits are one of our specialties at Forester Haynie, we recommend documenting your pay stubs, mileage logs, hours worked, and reimbursement amounts to help with the process.

Mileage Reimbursement Information

Mileage reimbursement rates are determined by the IRS and are based on the average costs to own and operate a vehicle. By paying too little for mileage reimbursement, many employees end up paying out-of-pocket for gas, oil, and other common vehicle maintenance costs. These additional vehicle costs often mean that the employees wages average out to be below the federal hourly minimum wage. Employees always have the option of calculating the actual costs of using their vehicle rather than using the standard mileage rates, but it is not the employee’s responsibility to do so. It is the responsibility of the employer to pay the employees a reasonable wage.
