Rick Ross has responded to being fined by the Department of Labor for labor law violations at 5 of the company’s Wingstop franchise locations in Mississippi.
According to reports, the company now has to pay $114,427 in back wages, liquidated damages, and civil penalties. Rozay’s locations made employees pay for their own uniforms, background checks and more which meant employees took home less than the minimum wage. One location even allowed a 15-year-old child to work past 10 pm.
“I want to take time to address something. When you running a business, there will be mistakes, but as the Biggest Bawse, you don’t make the same mistakes twice, you see?” he said via social media.
He continued: “Taking accountability is big when you the biggest, and remember this, most successful people don’t take stumbling as a setback but actually a stepping stone to greater things, you heard me? Let’s be great.”
