Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Files Lawsuit Against Western Golf Properties for Wage Violations
Lawsuit Filed by Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP
In a significant legal development, the employment law attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP have initiated a class action lawsuit against Western Golf Properties, LLC. This case, which is currently pending in the Riverside County Superior Court of California, alleges that the company has contravened multiple provisions of the California Labor Code, particularly in regards to wage payments and record-keeping practices.
The allegations outlined in the class action complaint assert that Western Golf Properties failed to properly document the hours worked by its employees. As a consequence, workers received inaccurate wage statements that did not correctly reflect their total hours worked or applicable hourly rates. This failure to maintain accurate attendance records culminated in situations where employees allegedly worked off the clock without receiving the wages they were entitled to.
According to California Labor Code § 226, each employer is obligated to provide their employees with accurate itemized wage statements. This includes specifying the applicable hourly rates during the pay period and detailing the total number of hours worked. The complaint highlights that the wage statements issued by Western Golf Properties did not meet these legal criteria, placing further scrutiny on their payroll practices.
Further complicating the issue is the claim that employees were under the control of their employer during all hours worked, including those off-the-clock periods, which are typically entitled to compensation. Notably, California Labor Code § 1194 emphasizes the requirement for employers to pay employees for all time worked and mandates adherence to minimum wage laws, which Western Golf Properties is alleged to have violated.
