Class Action Filed Against Magave Care, Inc. Over Meal and Rest Break Violations

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Magave Care, Inc.



Riverside labor law firms Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC have initiated a class action lawsuit against Magave Care, Inc. The accusation centers around the allegations that the company failed to provide mandatory meal and rest breaks to its employees. As the lawsuit unfolds, it draws attention to serious violations of California Labor Code, claiming that Magave Care, Inc. not only neglected meal breaks but also improperly compensated employees for their time worked, which is against established labor standards.

Overview of Allegations



This lawsuit, formally recorded as Case No. CVRI2501188 and currently pending in the Riverside County Superior Court, highlights several claims against the organization. Notably, the lawsuit alleges that Magave Care, Inc. breached multiple sections of the California Labor Code, which includes but is not limited to:

1. Failure to Pay Minimum Wage: Ensuring that all hours worked are compensated fairly, per California guidelines.
2. Overtime Compensation Issues: Correct payment for any hours exceeding the standard work period thus far not adhered to by the employer.
3. Meal and Rest Break Violations: Employees were reportedly denied their lawful breaks, leading to unpaid work hours that are required to be compensated.
4. Inaccuracy in Wage Statements: The firm claims that the itemized wage statements provided to employees lack critical details and correct calculations.
5. Delayed Wage Payments: Employees did not receive payments due on the predetermined payday.
6. Lack of Expense Reimbursement: Work expenses incurred by employees were reportedly not reimbursed.

Under California law, every employer is obligated to pay their employees at least the minimum wage for all hours worked during a specified period. According to the Wage Order, “hours worked” includes time when employees are under employer control, regardless of whether they were explicitly required to work.

Employer's Control Over Employees



It's alleged that employees of Magave Care, Inc. were compelled to perform tasks before and after their shifts, and even during what should have been their scheduled meal breaks. Due to this improper practice, the employees were not paid for significant labor time. Consequently, the lawsuit argues that the company has not met its obligations under California wage laws, thereby failing to provide minimum wage compensation for all hours worked.
