Employment & Labor Lawyers, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, File Suit Against Southern California Rehabilitation Services, Inc., Alleging Failure to Provide Meal Periods and Rest Breaks

The Sacramento employment law attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP have filed a class action complaint alleging that Southern California Rehabilitation Services, Inc. violated the California Labor Code by failing to provide employees with accurate wages due to missed meal breaks.

The lawsuit, Case No. 26CV014274, is pending in the Sacramento County Superior Court of the State of California.

According to the lawsuit, Southern California Rehabilitation Services, Inc. allegedly failed to pay minimum wages, failed to pay overtime wages, failed to provide legally required meal and rest periods, failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, failed to reimburse for required expenses, failed to pay sick wages, and failed to provide wages when due, all in violation of the applicable Labor Code sections.

Additionally, the Defendant allegedly required Plaintiffs to perform work assignments while clocked out for what should have been Plaintiffs' off-duty meal break. Plaintiffs were also required, from time to time, to work in excess of four (4) hours without being provided ten (10) minute rest periods. This resulted in Defendant allegedly rounding the meal period time to avoid paying penalties to Plaintiffs.

Further, these employees were denied their first rest periods of at least ten (10) minutes for some shifts worked of at least two (2) to four (4) hours from time to time, a first and second rest period of at least ten (10) minutes for some shifts worked of between six (6) and eight (8) hours from time to time, and a first, second and third rest period of at least ten (10) minutes for some shifts worked for ten (10) hours or more from time to time.

Defendant allegedly violated Cal. Lab. Code §§ 1194, 1197, and 1197.1.
