A restaurant owner has been sentenced to jail for not paying employees what they were legally entitled to for a couple of years.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Tuesday that Elisa Parto, the owner of Elisa’s Food & Plus Inc., in Port Chester, was sentenced for failing to pay employees the required minimum wage and overtime.
At her sentencing, Parto was ordered to pay the remaining amount of the total $47,000 in restitution she owed to six former employees.
