Class Action Filed Against Volume Services, Inc. for Labor Law Violations in California

Class Action Lawsuit Against Volume Services, Inc.

In a significant development for labor rights in California, the labor law firms Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC have filed a class action lawsuit against Volume Services, Inc. This action, registered as Case No. 25CU033941N, has been submitted to the San Diego County Superior Court. The complaint centers around alleged violations of the California Labor Code, specifically concerning the failure to provide required meal and rest breaks for employees.

According to the details outlined in the complaint, Volume Services, Inc. is accused of violating multiple sections of the California Labor Code that govern fair labor practices. The allegations state that the company failed to:
1. Pay minimum wages to employees.
2. Compensate workers for overtime hours.
3. Provide the necessary meal and rest periods mandated by law.
4. Issue accurate wage statements to employees.
5. Deliver wages on time to employees when due.
6. Reimburse employees for necessary business expenses incurred during work.

Employees working at Volume Services, Inc. reportedly faced rigorous schedules that hindered their ability to take off-duty meal breaks. The lawsuit indicates that employees were interrupted during their supposed off-duty times to complete work tasks, a practice that is explicitly against the stipulated labor laws. It has been claimed that staff members were on duty for over five hours without receiving an off-duty meal break, and those working shifts of ten hours were not offered a second meal period.

Furthermore, the complaint highlights the company's policy that kept employees on call, effectively preventing them from fully utilizing their scheduled meal breaks. Consequently, workers allegedly forfeited these mandated breaks with no additional pay due to the stringent corporate guidelines set forth by Volume Services, Inc.

This class action aims to address these violations, standing not only for justice for the affected employees but also setting a precedent for labor rights in the service industry across California.
