Overview of the Lawsuit

On July 21, 2025, the Riverside-based employment law firm, Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a significant class action lawsuit against Autism Behavior Services Inc. The lawsuit centers around allegations that the company systematically failed to provide its employees with legally mandated meal and rest breaks. These practices, if proven true, may constitute serious violations under California law, specifically the California Labor Code.

The core complaint details several alleged infractions that are said to have caused financial detriment to the employees. According to the filing, Autism Behavior Services Inc. neglected to pay its workers minimum wages, failed to compensate for overtime, and did not provide required meal and rest breaks. Additionally, the firm contends that there were inaccuracies in itemized wage statements, lack of reimbursement for necessary expenses, and withholding of sick wages. Such claims point to broader systemic issues in labor practices within the organization.

Key Allegations of the Lawsuit

Within the legal complaint, several specific claims are outlined:

• - Failure to Provide Meal and Rest Breaks: Employees purportedly were compelled to work in excess of four hours without receiving the legally required ten-minute rest periods. California law necessitates that employers supply their employees with off-duty breaks, during which they are free from obligations related to their work duties.
• - Minimum Wage Violations: The lawsuit also alleges that the employer did not meet the minimum wage thresholds as outlined in the California Labor Code.
• - Overtime Wages: Claims include failure to properly compensate employees for overtime worked. Overtime pay is typically calculated at one and a half times an employee’s regular wage for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek.
• - Inaccurate Wage Statements: Employees reportedly received itemized wage statements that did not accurately reflect their earnings, leading to uncertainty and confusion regarding their pay.
• - Expense Reimbursements: The firm asserts that Autism Behavior Services did not reimburse employees for necessary expenses incurred during the course of their employment, which is required by law.

The Impact on Employees

The implications of these alleged labor law violations can be significant. Employees who miss meal or rest breaks may face not only financial strain due to lost wages but also mental and physical exhaustion due to longer working hours without adequate breaks. The class action aims to hold Autism Behavior Services accountable for its labor practices, seeking justice for the affected employees.
