Edgefield's Black Rabbit Pub: A Black Hole for Wages?

By BETH SLOVIC

An employee of McMenamins Edgefield has filed a wage complaint [PDF] with the Bureau of Labor and Industries, alleging a restaurant manager changed "employee clock-out times to lower labor costs."

BOLI responded Aug. 6 with a warning letter mailed to McMenamins, and then closed the case. (To conduct an investigation, the state agency would need more than one complaint, a spokesman for BOLI says.)

Lisa Kinsley, general manager of human resources for McMenamins, has not returned a phone call from last week or this morning. The employee who complained also has not returned phone calls, but a second source at the pub says the manager who was allegedly changing workers' time sheets oversaw Edgefield's Black Rabbit House, a pub.
