The lawsuit is against Fundamental Provisions, LLC, which owns Popeyes restaurants in Panama City, Lynn Haven and Destin. The suit claims the franchisee did not pay over $150,000 in back wages and overtime to fifty-six general managers.
The complaint names a total of thirty franchises owned by Fundamental Provisions. The alleged wage deductions were made to cover cash shortages and food waste over a two-year period, starting in late-2006.
In a statement, Popeyes corporate officials say the restaurants are independently owned and operated. But, they are working with the franchisee to ensure a proper investigation takes place.
Representatives from Fundamental Provisions would not comment at this time because the litigation is ongoing.

I was working there when they started taking money out of employees checks for drawer shortages and waste. Its not just the general managers they were doing it too either, it was assistand managers and regular employees. Thats one reason I quit before but I keep going back.
Man that is one heck of a screw up I worked for popeyes from 1995 until 2003 and there were never that kind of screw ups. The bad thing is it was the same popeyes. Maybe we just had the right people working there, the right owners, and the right customer service, cause i can say they don't have that anymore. Popeyes has gone down hill since we all left and it will never come back up.
