Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Takes Action Against Adobe Veterinary Centers

In a significant legal move, the law firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP has filed a class action lawsuit alleging numerous violations against Adobe Veterinary Centers, LP. The suit, which is currently lodged in the Santa Clara County Superior Court (Case No. 25CV462889), claims that the organization has breached the California Labor Code.

Allegations of Wrongful Termination

The foundational complaint states that Adobe Veterinary Centers allegedly failed to accommodate the medical needs of a plaintiff—putting their employment at risk. According to the filed documents, the employee had habitual discussions about their medical accommodations with higher management. However, the management denied these requests, ultimately placing the plaintiff on medical leave without prior notice and subsequently terminating their employment unlawfully. This course of action stands in stark violation of the California Government Code §12900, which secures individuals against harassment and discrimination related to age and medical conditions in the workplace.

Lack of Required Breaks

In addition to allegations of wrongful termination, the lawsuit highlights that Adobe Veterinary Centers allegedly deprived employees of legally mandated meal and rest breaks. Employees often found themselves working beyond four hours without receiving any breaks, even though California law requires that they are afforded a ten-minute rest period during shifts exceeding that length. The California Wage Order stipulates that employees must have off-duty rest periods where they are not subjected to any work duties or management limits.

Legal representatives emphasized that the implications surrounding these claims are critical not only for the affected individuals but for the standards maintained within the industry at large. The alleged systematic failures depict an ongoing trend whereby labor laws are overlooked—jeopardizing employee rights in the workplace.
