A long span can count even with breaks
The NY Denny’s Settlement administrator lists October 31, 2026 for claims from eligible current and former New York workers of Reveille Management and Top Line Restaurants. The $440,000 attorney-general settlement addresses unpaid wages at this Western New York franchise operator.
The administrator describes missing spread-of-hours pay during January 2019 through April 2026. This is an extra hour at the applicable minimum wage when a restaurant employee’s workday, from start to finish including breaks, lunch and split shifts, exceeds ten hours. Ten hours of continuous active work is not the only relevant measure.
A notice and valid claim are still needed
Atticus is obtaining updated contact details for eligible workers identified by the attorney general. A claim form must be submitted by the deadline, with the claimant selecting a payment method. The page says claim payments will have a W-2 for tax purposes.
Keep old schedules, wage statements and the administrator notice. A Denny’s brand name on a uniform does not establish that the employer was Top Line or Reveille. The gross fund is not a flat award; this settlement does not establish every Denny’s restaurant underpaid every long shift.
