Employment Law Attorneys, Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, File Lawsuit Against Santa Fe Mercados, Inc. for Allegedly Failing to Accurately Pay Workers' Wages
The lawsuit alleges Santa Fe Mercados, Inc. failed to compensate their employees for missed meal and rest breaks, as well as allegedly failed to reimburse employees for required business expenses.
MONTEREY, Calif., March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The San Francisco employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a complaint alleging that Santa Fe Mercados, Inc. violated various California labor laws. The lawsuit against Santa Fe Mercados, Inc., Case No. 21CV000222, is currently pending in the Monterey County Superior Court of the State of California. To read a copy of the Complaint, click here.
According to the lawsuit filed, Santa Fe Mercados, Inc. allegedly required PLAINTIFFS and other CALIFORNIA CLASS Members to work while being clocked out. This allegedly resulted in a loss of both minimum and overtime wages. 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.
Additionally, Cal. Lab. Code § 2808 expressly states that "an employer shall indemnify his or her employee for all necessary expenditures or losses incurred by the employee in direct consequence of the discharge of his or her duties..." During employment, PLAINTIFFS and other CALIFORNIA CLASS Members were allegedly required to download and use an application, for scheduling purposes, on their personal cellular phones. As a result, they allegedly incurred unreimbursed business expenses.
