Background
On May 19, 2025, the San Diego-based labor and employment law firms, Zakay Law Group, APLC, and JCL Law Firm, APC, initiated a representative action against Taylor Made Golf Company, claiming severe wage-related violations. This lawsuit, currently registered as Case No. 25CU023583C in the San Diego County Superior Court, alleges that the company failed to pay its employees accurately for all hours worked, in contradiction to several provisions of the California Labor Code.
Allegations Details
The complaint outlines multiple claims against Taylor Made Golf Company, including:
1.
Non-payment of Minimum and Overtime Wages: Employees are claiming they were not compensated for all hours worked, nor were overtime wages paid where required.
2.
Meal and Rest Period Violations: Laws require adequate breaks for employees during shifts, yet the lawsuit asserts that these regulations were not honored by the company.
3.
Inaccurate Wage Statements: California law mandates employers provide proper wage statements that include gross wages, number of hours worked, rates of pay, and deductions. Allegedly, Taylor Made Golf Company failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements to employees, breaching section 226 of the California Labor Code.
4.
Delayed Wage Payments: The lawsuit claims the company did not pay wages when they were due, violating sections that govern timely compensations.
5.
Failure to Reimburse Business Expenses: Employees have asserted they were not reimbursed for necessary business expenditures incurred as part of their jobs.
Legal Context

- - Sections 201 and 202: These sections require employers to pay all wages when employees leave the job.
- - Sections 510 and 512: These sections govern overtime and meal period entitlements.
- - Sections 226, 226.7, and 210: These sections deal with itemized wage statements and timely wage payments.
