Employees at two Bloomington restaurants are in for some serious back pay after a federal investigation found ownership wasn't paying them properly.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Employees at two Bloomington restaurants are in for some serious back pay after a federal investigation found ownership wasn't paying them properly.

The U.S. Department of Labor found three violations by Ji Enterprises:

Only paid employees $7/hour for training when the federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour

Employees working more than 40 hours a week weren't given overtime pay, or were being given a flat salary when federal law required they be given overtime

Restaurants not keeping accurate records of how many hours employees worked

The Labor Department ordered Ji Enterprises to pay $162,254 in back wages and other damages to 12 employees across two restaurants - Restaurant Ami and Toto's Uncle - affected by these violations.
