Class Action Against SBCS Corporation for Meal and Rest Break Violations Filed by Zakay and JCL Law Firms
Class Action Filed Against SBCS Corporation
The legal landscape in California is once again in the spotlight as labor law attorneys from Zakay Law Group, APLC, and JCL Law Firm, APC, have initiated a class action lawsuit against SBCS Corporation. This substantial case has emerged from claims that the organization has systematically failed to comply with the state's labor laws, particularly regarding mandatory meal and rest breaks for its employees.
Allegations Against SBCS Corporation
The lawsuit, officially designated as Case No. 25CU023270C, is currently pending in the San Diego County Superior Court of California. It alleges that SBCS Corporation has violated several sections of the California Labor Code by not providing adequate meal and rest periods for their employees, which they are legally entitled to. Specifically, the complaint highlights violations of Labor Code Sections including but not limited to §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 210, 226.7, 510, 512, 558, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, 1198.5, and 2802.
Some of the key allegations made in the lawsuit include:
1. Failure to pay minimum wages.
2. Failure to pay overtime wages.
3. Not providing obligatory meal and rest breaks.
4. Inaccuracy in itemized wage statements.
5. Delayed payment of wages.
6. Failure to reimburse employees for necessary business expenses.
Employees of SBCS Corporation contend that their demanding work schedules made it almost impossible for them to take their entitled meal breaks. Allegedly, many were often interrupted during their off-duty meal times to perform work tasks for the corporation. The lawsuit claims that employees were mandated to work for more than five hours in a shift without receiving a single off-duty meal break.
Moreover, it is reported that during shifts where employees worked for ten hours, they were denied a second mandatory meal period, in direct violation of California labor regulations. This breach has led to significant claims regarding unpaid wages, as employees found themselves obliged to remain on-call during their intended off-duty meal breaks, subsequently forfeiting these breaks without receiving any additional compensation.
