company policy, practice and procedure, and in violation of the
applicable Labor Code, Industrial Welfare Commission ("IWC") Wage
Order requirements, and the applicable provisions of California law, intentionally, knowingly, and
willfully, engaged in a practice whereby DEFENDANT systematically
failed to correctly calculate and record overtime compensation for
overtime worked by PLAINTIFF and the other members of the
CALIFORNIA CLASS, even though
DEFENDANT enjoyed the benefit of this work, required employees to
perform this work and permitted or suffered to permit this overtime
work."
According to the class action complaint, the company's
non-exempt employees were also allegedly unable to take off duty
meal breaks due to their rigorous work schedules. California labor laws require an employer to
provide an employee required to perform work for more than five (5)
hours during a shift with, a thirty (30) minute uninterrupted meal
break prior to the end of the employee's fifth (5th) hour of work.
The complaint alleges that the company did not provide their
employees who forfeited meal breaks additional compensation.
