Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Sues Selig Parking for Wage Violations
Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, a renowned employment law firm based in Sacramento, California, has recently made headlines with a class action lawsuit filed against Selig Parking, Inc. The complaint alleges multiple violations of the California Labor Code, raising serious concerns about fair labor practices within the company.
According to the lawsuit, Selig Parking allegedly failed to provide its employees with appropriate wages and working conditions. The claims include not only the failure to pay minimum and overtime wages but also the violation of mandatory meal and rest breaks, which are essential for workers' well-being and productivity. Specifically, the filing highlights how employees were often clocked out during mandatory off-duty meal breaks yet were still required to perform work. This situation not only violates state labor laws but also compromises the health and safety of the workers involved.
The class action, registered under Case No. 25CV1932, is currently pending in the El Dorado County Superior Court. A core contention of the complaint is that Selig Parking's practices have deprived employees of their rights to proper wage statements, compensation for necessary business expenses, and sick pay, which are all required under California's labor regulations. Furthermore, the lawsuit states that employees have experienced irregular payment practices, resulting in wages that are based on 'rounded' time rather than their actual recorded hours.
Legal experts state that the implications of this lawsuit could be significant. If the claims are proven true, Selig Parking could face substantial civil penalties under various sections of the California Labor Code, including sections 201-203, 226, 226.7, and others related to wage and labor practices. This case further emphasizes the critical importance of employee rights and the responsibilities of employers to adhere to labor laws.
