McDonald's to pay $20,000 for violating Minneapolis minimum wage law

In the first major settlement since Minneapolis changed its minimum wage laws, a McDonald's franchise has agreed to pay $20,000 in back wages and penalties for underpaying its workers.

A city Department of Civil Rights investigation earlier this year found the 210 E. Lake St. McDonald's paid dozens of its employees less than the $10 minimum that went into effect in January.
