Revised Rules in Mass. Spark Surge in Tip, Wage Lawsuits

Partner Gordon Katz, whose practice includes hospitality litigation, is quoted in this article about Massachusetts restaurants facing litigation as a result of the state's revised tip-sharing regulations. Katz believes the Supreme Judicial Court's ruling has led to a large number of new claims by terminated employees against their employers. He recommends that employers seek to prevent claims about wage-and-hour practices by establishing internal procedures.
