Knoxville restaurant closed after employees say they've received late and faulty paychecks

Wings Over Knoxville on Cumberland Avenue is closed until further notice after employees say they’ve been receiving late and faulty paychecks. They say they’re struggling to pay monthly bills and many of them are worried about what could happen if this continues.

Employees at the restaurant say they haven’t been paid consistently in months. The owner of the restaurant, Pete Lodice, confirms, saying he’s been having trouble getting paychecks out on time, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic for financial hardships.

Employees told WATE they were given paychecks last week, but they bounced, leaving their accounts with negative balances. Now, they’re shutting the restaurant down entirely until they start seeing some consistency in their pay.

“They come late and majority of the time they’re late, they’re wrong,” general manager Shawnte James said.

In a statement, owner Pete Iodice says it’s something he’s working on fixing.
