California Labor Commissioner’s Office Reaches $1 Million Settlement with Cheesecake Factory, Janitorial Contractors

Owed Wages to be Distributed to 589 Janitors

San Diego—The Labor Commissioner’s Office (LCO) reached a $1 million settlement against the Cheesecake Factory Restaurants Inc. dba The Cheesecake Factory and two janitorial contractors for underpaying 589 janitorial workers.

Janitors who worked at Cheesecake Factory restaurants in Brea, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Escondido, San Diego-Fashion Valley and San Diego-Seaport District between August 31, 2014 and August 31, 2017 should immediately contact LCO at (619) 767-2039 as they may be entitled to owed wages and damages under the settlement agreement.

“California strengthened its laws to remove loopholes that allowed businesses to subcontract services and avoid responsibility to ensure workers are paid what they are owed,” said Labor Commissioner Lilia García-Brower. “This settlement is a result of our effort to use enforcement tools which increase compliance, levels the playing field and recovers owed wages for workers.”
