Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Files Class Action Against Fivetran for Wage Violations
Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Takes Action Against Fivetran Inc.
In a significant legal development, the employment law attorneys from Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP have initiated a class action lawsuit against Fivetran Inc., alleging the company's failure to comply with California Labor Laws. Filed in Alameda County Superior Court, the case number 25CV152135 includes claims of inadequate wage recording practices and failure to provide mandated breaks for employees.
Allegations Against Fivetran
The lawsuit asserts that Fivetran Inc. has not accurately documented the hours worked by their employees. This includes time worked off the clock, which allegedly led to wage underpayment and violations of workers' rights. According to the claims, employees have faced a systematic disregard for their entitlements under California’s Labor Code.
In particular, the lawsuit details allegations wherein employees were not granted legally required meal and rest periods. It is reported that employees were often required to work more than four consecutive hours without a ten-minute rest period. Additionally, during various shifts, they were reportedly denied their first, second, and sometimes even their third rest breaks, despite the hours worked exceeding the threshold that mandates such breaks.
Additional Claims of Wage Underpayment
Further complaints highlight a concerning trend of wage underpayment, specifically regarding sick leave pay. The lawsuit mentions that when sick wages were compensated, they were not paid at employees' regular pay rates, but rather at a base rate, contravening California labor standards. Furthermore, the firm alleges that Fivetran denied reimbursement for necessary business expenses incurred by employees during their duties, which the law mandates must be compensated.
These allegations highlight not only potential financial harm to the employees but also an overarching culture within Fivetran that reportedly undermines worker rights as defined by the California Labor Code. The cited violations include Cal. Lab. Code §§ 246(1)(2) and 2802, which regulate wage practices and employee entitlements in the workplace.
