HOV TO SHELL OUT THE BENJAMINS

Hov could potentially be shelling out the Benjamins for forcing workers at his trendy 40/40 club to pick up the tab for deadbeat customers.



Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska said current and past servers, bartenders and others who've toiled at the downtown sports bar and lounge could be eligible for a payout from a suit certified as class action Tuesday.

Some 20 workers accuse club managers of making them work for tips only, cheating them out of overtime and forcing them to pay for breaks and spills as well as "walkouts."

Hundreds of former employees could be eligible to collect if the workers' claims are successful at trial, their attorney says.

"The record contains corroborating evidence of the allegations," Preska wrote.

An earnings report for at least two workers showed they did not receive overtime for hours worked beyond the 40-hour workweek, Preska noted.
GV Says: Hov needs some better people around him to run his affairs.
