NEW YORK (AP) -- A busboy is suing Justin Timberlake, saying the pop star's Manhattan barbecue joint didn't pay him a legal wage.
Felipe Ramales says in a federal lawsuit filed Friday that he worked for Timberlake's Southern Comfort restaurant for about a year.
The suit says Ramales and other staffers didn't get their proper share of a gratuity charge the restaurant automatically collected from parties with six or more diners.
The busboy also says he worked more than 40 hours per week without getting overtime.
A manager at the restaurant says the tip allegations are false, and all staffers made well above the legal minimum wage.
Publicists for Timberlake did not immediately respond to e-mail messages Friday night.
The lawsuit also names other partners in the restaurant.
