Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Hilbers, Inc.

On January 26, 2026, Los Angeles-based labor law firms, Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC, took action by filing a class action lawsuit against Hilbers, Inc. The lawsuit alleges serious violations of California labor laws regarding wage payments. The case, identified under Case No. 25STCV34742, is currently pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Allegations Against Hilbers, Inc.

The complaint filed highlights a number of key allegations against Hilbers, Inc. Detailed examination reveals violations of various sections of the California Labor Code, including, but not limited to:

1. Failure to Pay Minimum Wages - Employees claimed they did not receive the legally mandated minimum wage for all hours worked.
2. Unpaid Overtime-Wages - The lawsuit further alleges that employees were denied overtime wages despite working beyond the standard hours.
3. Inadequate Meal and Rest Breaks - According to the allegations, employees were not provided with the required meal and rest periods, which are vital under California law.
4. Inaccurate Wage Statements - Hilbers, Inc. purportedly failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements to its employees.
5. Delayed Payments - The suit claims that wages were not disbursed to employees when due.
6. Reimbursement Issues - Employees also reported that they were not reimbursed for necessary business expenses incurred while performing their duties.

The employees of Hilbers, Inc. reportedly experienced demanding work schedules which severely constrained their ability to take the necessary rest breaks. Allegations extend to claims that employees sometimes worked more than four hours straight without being offered a crucial ten-minute rest period. These claims indicate that staffing shortages contributed heavily to the inability of employees to take designated breaks.

The Impact of Rigorous Work Conditions

The commitment to quality work led many employees to forgo their entitled breaks to meet the company’s demands, resulting in a failure to comply with labor laws. The lawsuit points out that employees were sometimes required to work shifts lasting anywhere from two to ten hours or more without receiving the mandatory rest breaks.

Employees who worked shifts of varying lengths often went without their first rest period of at least ten minutes, further compounding their exhaustion from these strenuous conditions. Moreover, Hilbers, Inc. employees allege that they did not receive compensation equivalent to an hour's wages in lieu of the missed breaks.
