New York (CNN Business) Restaurants are struggling to hire workers , so some, including Chipotle, are trying to sweeten the pot with higher pay and bigger career opportunities. Employees can also be promoted to a general manger position within about three and a half years -- a job that has an "average compensation" of $100,000. Chipotle, which aims to hire 20,000 employees ahead of the summer, said it's also rolling out a $200 employee referral bonus. Chipotle also allegedly created false documents stating that the employees "waived" the premium pay they were entitled to as a result of these violations. And, the suit alleges, Chipotle didn't systematically go to current employees to offer them more shifts before hiring new ones — another of the law's requirements — leaving "thousands of employees in an involuntary part-time limbo."
