Chipotle is facing a lawsuit that no business was expecting. A Chipotle “apprentice,” or assistant manager in training, from New Jersey, has filed a lawsuit claiming the company failed to comply with the Department of Labor’s new overtime rule.
If you’re a bit confused, you are not alone. The DOL’s new overtime rule was temporarily blocked by a federal judge in Texas last November, before the law ever went into effect. The block is only temporary until the case gets finally resolved, or the DOL changes the rule.
