According to the lawsuit filed, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. allegedly failed to pay employees their accurate sick pay wages, which violates California Labor Code Section 246. Employees routinely earned non-discretionary incentive wages which increased their regular rate of pay. However, when paid sick pay wages, it was allegedly paid at the base rate of pay rather than the higher regular rate of pay.
The Complaint further alleges, that due to rigorous work schedules, employees were from time to time "unable to take thirty (30) minute off duty meal breaks, nor be fully relieved of duty for their meal periods." Additionally, Defendant allegedly failed to provide employees with a second off-duty meal break, as needed. As a result of Defendant's alleged intentional disregard of the obligation to follow California Labor Codes, Defendant allegedly failed to properly calculate and/or pay all required compensation.
