Class Action Against Kings FLC Inc. Over Meal and Break Violations by Legal Firms
In a significant legal move, labor law firms Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC, have initiated a class action lawsuit against Kings FLC Inc. in Fresno, California. The lawsuit asserts serious allegations, claiming that the company has systematically failed to provide its employees with legally mandated meal and rest breaks as stipulated under California labor regulations.
The case, filed under Case No. 25CECG01432, is currently pending in the Fresno County Superior Court and raises numerous complaints regarding Kings FLC's employment practices. The plaintiffs assert multiple violations of the California Labor Code, including sections relating to unpaid minimum and overtime wages, lack of required meal and rest breaks, inaccurate wage statements, and delayed wage payments.
California's labor law requires that employers pay their employees at least the minimum wage for all hours worked, irrespective of the payment method, whether it's hourly, commission, or otherwise. The lawsuit alleges that Kings FLC Inc. directed employees to perform tasks beyond their scheduled hours, including before and after shifts, as well as during necessary meal breaks. This practice purportedly resulted in employees not being compensated for substantial periods spent under the employer's control, thus leading to further violations regarding minimum wage entitlements.
Zakay Law Group and JCL Law Firm, both advocates for labor rights, express their commitment to pursuing justice for employees subjected to exploitable working conditions. As stated by the attorneys involved, if Kings FLC Inc. is found guilty, the consequences may extend well beyond just monetary penalties; they could necessitate changes in how the company approaches employee rights and labor policies.
The implications of this lawsuit underscore the importance of worker protections and the enforcement of labor laws designed to ensure that employees do not work under unfair conditions. With an increasing number of workers coming forward to report grievances regarding wage and hour disputes, this case exemplifies the trend towards holding employers accountable for violations.
