Managers at two Checkers restaurants in Alabama altered employees' timecards to reduce their recorded hours, the DOL claims.
The restaurants also clocked staff out while they worked and didn't pay overtime, the DOL claims.
The DOL said it had recovered $26,927 in back wages and liquidated damages for 36 employees.

A Checkers franchisee in Montgomery, Alabama let managers at two restaurants clock staff out while they were still working and altered their timecards, meaning that they were paid less than they should have been, the Department of Labor claimds.
