Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Universal Health Services

On June 21, 2025, the prominent Los Angeles employment attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP took legal action against Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. The class action lawsuit, filed in Riverside County Superior Court, claims egregious violations of California labor laws.

Nature of the Allegations

The lawsuit contends that Universal Health Services (UHS) consistently failed to compensate employees for all hours worked, particularly during off-the-clock situations. Importantly, the complaint highlights several critical issues regarding employee treatment and compensation:

• - Non-payment of minimum wages and overtime wages
• - Neglect in granting legally mandated meal and rest breaks
• - Inaccuracies in providing itemized wage statements to employees
• - Failure to reimburse necessary expenses incurred by employees in the line of duty
• - Non-payment of sick wages and overdue payments

According to California Labor Code Sections including 201-203, 226, and others, these alleged infractions warrant significant civil penalties. The lawsuit aims to hold UHS accountable for its alleged negligence towards labor standards.

Specifics of the Lawsuit

The legal complaint argues that UHS employees were not paid for time they were subject to the control of the company. This includes instances where employees were expected to perform tasks without being clocked in, which is clearly against labor regulations. The breakdown of grievances underlines:

• - Employees were required to work during unauthorized times without compensation
• - They were deprived of meal and rest periods, further compromising their rights to fair wages

The complaint states that, even if the hours worked during these off-the-clock periods do not qualify for overtime compensation, they still should have been paid minimum wage rates for the time worked, violating various California labor laws.
