T.I.’s former staff at Scales 925 (which is no longer in business) have plenty of complaints. One of which is unpaid overtime wages. It is being reported that T.I. has settled out of court four former employees who have brought a lawsuit to T.I. and former business partner Chris Hughes’ doorstep for failing to pay them overtime as well as money damages.
The $78,000 settlement comes after the employees alleged that both T.I. and Hughes were in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act — which establishes the standards of wages and overtime and protects workers from unfair pay practices or work regulations. T.I. remained firm that he and his partner are completely innocent, and pushed for a settlement for the case so that they can avoid an even more costly court case. The terms of the settlement will see the rapper and his partner pay the former employees legal bills, back taxes, and money damages. In exchange, they have agreed to not sue him and his partner or the restaurant.
