DEERFIELD, Ill. — Cosí is an American restaurant chain that primarily offers sandwiches and salads. Founded in 1996, there are now over 140 locations in the United States. All Cosí restaurants feature a full service espresso bar, and some locations serve alcohol. Cosí is headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois.
Cosí employees are often required to double shifts and additional time before and after their scheduled shift. With the exception of some upper management positions, the restaurant chain must pay overtime to workers who work more than forty hours a week. Employers often deny or unlawfully refuse to overtime pay by misclassifying the positions of the workers, requiring them to report to work early but not “punch the clock” until later, striking hours off time cards, or not paying them for work before the shift starts and after the employee punches out for the day. These are violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and can give rise to an overtime pay lawsuit.
