McDonald’s Co (Japan) Ltd agreed Wednesday to pay some 10 million yen in settlement money to a manager at one of its restaurants under a deal to end a lawsuit between the two at the Tokyo High Court, the plaintiff’s lawyer said.
The hamburger chain and Hiroshi Takano, 47, agreed on the deal stating he does not correspond to a manager in reality and thus is entitled to receive overtime pay from the company. An employer does not have to pay overtime to managers, who are defined as part of its management, according to the Labor Standard Law.
The deal also calls on McDonald’s not to impose a demotion, transfer or pay cut on the plaintiff because of the litigation. Takano, manager at a McDonald’s restaurant in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, sued his employer saying he does not have any authority as a manager is only a ‘‘manager in name.’’
