LAS VEGAS, N.V. – A class action lawsuit brought by employees of the Boiling Crab restaurant in Las Vegas, involving allegations over a tip pool, has reached a settlement on behalf of all opt-in employees.

In the lawsuit, filed on October 7, 2020, plaintiffs alleged that The Boiling Crab Vegas, LLC, violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by improperly requiring employees to share tips with employees referred to as DSLs (alternatively referred to as shift leads, working leads, designated shift leads, daily shift leads, daily server leads, and leads on duty).

The Honorable Richard F. Boulware of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada has granted final approval of the settlement.  The settlement provides current and former employees of the restaurant with 90 percent of their actual tip pool losses and another 90 percent in liquidated damages.

RPWB, which served as lead counsel for the employees, has provided notice to all former employees who opted into the lawsuit.  The deadline to accept the payment expires on July 1, 2025.

Any opt-in plaintiff requiring additional information should contact T. Christopher Tuck in advance of the deadline.
