HAMILTON - Three former restaurant workers claim a Hamilton diner paid them far less than minimum wage and made them work overtime for no extra pay, according to a lawsuit filed this month.

The restaurant, a Whitehorse Road diner called "Fame," paid three workers around $200 a week for six days of work, the lawsuit said. It was filed in Mercer County Superior Counrt.

For one employee, Gustavo Salazar, the work included washing dishes, working as a busboy and "general utility" for the restaurant.

Salazar said in the suit that he worked 12 hours a day, six days a week with an hour-long lunch. That amounted to a 66-hour workweek, but Salazar never saw overtime pay.

"Salazar received a minimal amount of tip income from the waitresses for his busboy work, but never more than $40 a week," the suit said.

The minimum wage in New Jersey is $8.38 an hour.

Salazar worked at the restaurant from 2011 until March of this year and is demanding thousands of dollars he claims he should have earned, according to the lawsuit.

The other two employees, Alsy Molina and Anibal Orlando Salazar, worked at the same restaurant for less than a year and left in February 2016.

But in those few months, both Molina and Salazar experienced unfair pay, the suit said.

Like Gustavo Salazar, they worked 66-hour a week and were paid only $200 a week for that work, the suit said.

They weren't paid for their overtime hours either, the suit said.

A manager at the diner, who did not identify herself by name, refused to comment on the litigation Thursday. An attorney for the former employees did not immediately answer a call Thursday afternoon.
