Alameda Health System allegedly failed to fully relieve employees for their legally required off-duty rest breaks.
ALAMEDA, Calif., March 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The San Francisco employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a class action lawsuit against Alameda Health System, alleging the company violated the California Labor Code. The lawsuit against Alameda Health System is currently pending in the Alameda County Superior Court, Case No. 23CV027524. To read a copy of the Complaint, please click here.
According to the complaint filed, Alameda Health System allegedly failed to pay employees for all the time they were under the employer's control. This, allegedly, includes the time Plaintiff and other California Class Members had to submit to mandatory COVID-19 questionnaires and temperature checks prior to clocking in for the day. To the extent that the time worked off-the-clock did not qualify for overtime premium payment, Defendant allegedly failed to pay minimum and overtime wages for the time worked off-the-clock.
The complaint further alleges Alameda Health System restricted employees from unconstrained walks in which employees could not leave work premises during their rest period. The applicable California Wage Order requires employers to provide employees with off-duty rest periods, which the California Supreme Court defined as time during which an employee is relieved from all work related duties and free from employer control.
