Louisiana-based restaurant chain Hana Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar has agreed to pay more than $100,000 in back wages to 135 chefs and servers in multiple locations following a Labor Department investigation. KALB reports that employees "were paid a fixed salary, regardless of hours worked, that often... caused the wages to fall below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour." [KALB-TV]
