Allegations Against GBOD Group, LLC

According to the lawsuit, GBOD Group, LLC is accused of not properly compensating its employees for all of their hours worked. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the company failed to adhere to the California Labor Code, which requires employers to pay minimum and overtime wages, alongside other employee rights protections. The specific violations cited include:

1. Failure to Pay Minimum and Overtime Wages: Employees did not receive the legally required minimum wages for all hours worked, nor were they compensated for any overtime hours in adherence to the law.
2. Absence of Meal and Rest Periods: The Labor Code mandates specific meal and rest breaks that must be provided to employees, a requirement that the lawsuit claims was ignored by GBOD Group, LLC.
3. Inaccurate Wage Statements: California law requires employers to furnish employees with an itemized wage statement that accurately reflects gross wages, total hours worked, and various deductions. Allegedly, GBOD Group, LLC failed to provide these necessary statements in compliance with the law.
4. Delayed Wage Payments: Employees reportedly did not receive their wages timely, contravening the regulations that dictate when wages must be paid.
