What seemed like a small garnishment matter in Roanoke City General District Court could have had drastic implications to Virginia’s restaurant industry, but Gentry Locke was able to successfully defend a national restaurant chain from having to garnish its employee’s tips.

As is the required minimum, and standard in Virginia, the tipped employee made $2.13/hour, well below the statutory limits on garnishment. The […]

(§65.2-601(A) and (B)). In those instances where the employer/carrier issues a notification to the healthcare provider, then notification must include the following information: “The reasons […]

Past successes do not predict or guarantee future successes.Gentry Locke for the Plaintiff Augusta County Circuit Court The Defendant, an oral surgeon, removed our client’s wisdom teeth when she was 12 years of age.

Things just got a little easier for employers with tipped employees. Under previous U.S. Department of Labor rules dating back to the late 1980s, employers who used a tip credit to pay less than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 had to carefully track time employees spent performing side duties. If that time exceeded 20 percent of the employee’s hours, those duties might be considered a dual job requiring full minimum wage rather than the $2.13 an hour for tipped employees. (Employers always have to ensure that tipped employees earn enough tips to make at least minimum wage, or make […]

The results of client matters depend on a variety of factors unique to each matter. Past successes do not predict or guarantee future successes.Gentry Locke for the Defense Roanoke City General District Court Our client, a national restaurant chain, was sued by a creditor seeking garnishment of an employee’s wages to satisfy the employee’s debt. When a creditor receives a judgment against a person, the creditor will send a garnishment summons to the employer, resulting in the employer paying a portion of the employee’s wages to the court. In this case, the Restaurant did not have to pay any of the employee’s wages into the court because under the garnishment statute, the employee did not make enough money. The creditor then tried to include tips […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Roanoke, Va. (January 22, 2019) – Today, the Supreme Court of the United States denied certiorari in Berkley, et al. v. FERC, et al. While Landowners are disappointed that the Court did not take the case, it is important to remember two things: First, the denial of certiorari does not mean the Court necessarily agrees with the decision of the lower court. It simply means the Supreme Court will not address this particular issue at this particular time. Second, the Court receives thousands of petitions every year and it is therefore extremely rare for the Court to […]
