Labor and Employment Law Firms Take Legal Action Against Win & Max Times Over Meal and Rest Break Violations

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Win & Max Times

In a recent legal development, the Los Angeles-based attorneys from Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC have officially lodged a class action lawsuit against Win & Max Times. This complaint, currently undergoing legal proceedings in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges significant infractions of California labor laws, particularly regarding meal and rest breaks for employees.

Allegations of Violating Labor Codes

The lawsuit, categorized as Case No. 30-2025-01454184-CU-OE-CXC, asserts that Win & Max Times has failed to meet several requirements laid out in the California Labor Code. The specific codes in question include Sections 201 through 210 and 226.7, which cover critical aspects such as minimum wage payments, overtime wages, mandatory meal and rest periods, and accurate wage statements.

Key Points of the Complaint

1. Failure to Pay Minimum and Overtime Wages: The company allegedly did not adhere to the legal standards for paying employees their required wages, which is fundamental under labor laws.
2. Lack of Required Meal and Rest Breaks: The lawsuit outlines that employees were not afforded their entitled meal and rest periods, as mandated by law. In particular, the workers were frequently interrupted during meal breaks, undermining their right to take these breaks off-duty.
3. Insufficient Compensation for Business Expenses: The complaint highlights that Win & Max Times further failed to reimburse employees for necessary business expenses incurred while performing their duties.

According to the filed complaint, employees working more than five hours without receiving an off-duty meal break were a common occurrence. This lack of adequate rest led to additional burdens on employees, forcing them to remain on call during periods intended for breaks.

The class action encompasses those employees who experienced these labor law violations, seeking justice and fair compensation for the grievances experienced on the job. As noted in the complaint, the employees were not fully relieved from duty during their supposed off-duty periods, violating their rights under the California labor statutes.
