Labor Violations Allegation Against GEI Consultants Inc.

In a significant legal action, the employment and labor attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, based in Sacramento, California, have filed a class action lawsuit against GEI Consultants Inc.. The firm has brought the suit forward due to allegations that the consulting company has systematically failed to comply with the California Labor Code. This corporate complaint, referred to as Case No. 25CV019799, is currently under consideration by the Sacramento County Superior Court.

The lawsuit outlines seven primary violations of labor laws, including:

• - Failure to pay minimum wages
• - Failure to compensate for overtime
• - Failure to provide legally mandated meal periods
• - Failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements
• - Failure to reimburse for necessary work expenses
• - Failure to remit sick pay
• - Failure to ensure timely payment of earned wages

These alleged shortcomings have invoked various sections of the California Labor Code, specifically sections 201-203, 226, 226.7, 233, 246, 510, 512, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, and 2802, leading to the potential for civil penalties against GEI Consultants Inc.

According to the filed complaint, GEI Consultants Inc. required employees to work through meal breaks without compensation. This illegal practice not only neglected their right to statutory meal breaks but also coerced them into performing their duties even when clocked out. The suit maintains that many employees have repeatedly worked more than four hours without the required ten-minute rest breaks, violating labor regulations intended to protect their rights.

Additionally, the plaintiffs allege that GEI Consultants routinely rounded meal period times in a manner designed to escape paying for breaks, and employees were denied their first rest breaks on various shifts. For certain shifts, including those lasting two to four hours, employees reportedly missed their first rest period. The complaint states that for shifts longer than six hours, they were often denied both their first and second required ten-minute rest breaks. It emphasizes that such practices constitute violations under the aforementioned sections of the labor codes, placing the company’s business practices under scrutiny.

Individuals impacted by these violations are encouraged to reach out to an experienced attorney specializing in employment law to explore their rights and options.
