New York Denny's (Reveille / Top Line) Spread of Hours Wage Settlement
Court case: NY OAG v. Reveille Management LLC and Top Line Restaurants, Inc. Settlement
New York's Attorney General secured a $440,000 settlement fund from Reveille Management and Top Line Restaurants, which operate 23 Denny's franchise restaurants in New York, over unpaid 'spread of hours' wages. The claims process is not open yet — it is expected to open at the end of August 2026 — and the filing deadline is October 31, 2026.
An Eligible Top Line Worker is someone who did both of the following: worked a workday in New York state at one of the 23 Denny's franchise restaurants operated by Top Line and/or Reveille between January 1, 2019 through April 30, 2026 where, from start to finish (including breaks, lunch and split shifts), the total hours were more than 10 hours in the workday; and was not paid an additional hour of pay at the then in-effect minimum wage (the 'spread of hours' pay) for that workday. The OAG makes the final decision in reasonably determining which current or former employees are eligible and how much they receive. Payout: The Office of the New York State Attorney General (OAG) has secured a settlement for $440,000 with Reveille Management LLC and Top Line Restaurants, Inc. to return unpaid wages. To calculate how much is due to each eligible Top Line Worker, OAG reviewed the payroll and time record data for all employees during the affected period. The OAG has sole discretion on the amount of all settlement payments. No per-person figure is published on the site. No proof of purchase is required to file. Claim deadline: October 31, 2026. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on August 16, 2026.
Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
