Class Action Filed Against Interface Rehab, Inc. for Labor Law Violations in California
The legal team at Zakay Law Group, APLC, along with JCL Law Firm, APC, has initiated a class action lawsuit against Interface Rehab, Inc. This lawsuit, currently pending in California's Los Angeles County Superior Court under Case No. 25SRCV10719, asserts that the company has egregiously violated various statutes of the California Labor Code, specifically regarding the treatment of its employees.
The complaint outlines a series of allegations against Interface Rehab, Inc., including the failure to provide mandatory meal and rest breaks. Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that the company did not compensate employees for all hours worked, neglecting crucial labor regulations that protect workers’ rights. It argues that this negligence encompasses violations of several sections of the California Labor Code, namely §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 210, 226, 226.7, 510, 512, 558, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, and 2802.
According to the complaint filed by Zakay Law Group and JCL Law Firm, Interface Rehab, Inc. failed to pay its employees not only the minimum wage but also appropriate overtime wages. Employees reportedly worked before and after their scheduled shifts and were also made to perform duties during their supposed off-duty meal breaks without any compensation. The lawsuit alleges that Interface Rehab, Inc. has systematically deprived its employees of necessary financial compensation for every hour they were under the company’s control, thereby violating the law which mandates that workers are to be paid for all time worked, irrespective of when that time occurs during their shifts.
California law states that every employer must pay employees no less than the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked during a pay period. The definition of hours worked includes any time an employee is subject to the control of their employer, a condition that was purportedly ignored by Interface Rehab, Inc. As a direct result of these alleged violations, employees could be entitled to substantial compensation.
The legal representatives involved in this case are advocating for the rights of employees subjected to such unfair practices, aiming to hold Interface Rehab, Inc. accountable for its actions. This lawsuit underscores the importance of adhering to labor regulations that protect the welfare of workers.
