About this case
A class action brought by approximately 70 former bikini baristas alleged that Tagle & Partners violated Washington wage and hour laws by failing to pay regular wages, taking tips, violating sick-leave requirements, and restricting employees’ ability to work second jobs. After a trial, a King County Superior Court judge found widespread violations and ordered Tagle and Tagle & Partners to pay $1.85 million in back pay, penalties, and interest.
