A judge is forcing five Papa John's restaurants in Harlem to pay more than $2 million to employees for theft of wages.  

The judge ruled that the owner of the pizza restaurants underpaid hundreds of delivery workers for five years.

The ruling says the owner rounded down work hours, failed to pay overtime premiums and refused to pay workers untipped kitchen wages. 

"My office, the office of the attorney general, has no tolerance for wage theft," said state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. "We treat it like any other kind of theft. We investigate it, we sue, we prosecute it to the fullest extent of the law."

This the second such ruling against a Papa John's franchise this year. Another owner was forced to pay $800,000 in a separate case last month.
