Royal Health Care Center, Inc. allegedly failed to reimburse employees for required work expenses. These work expenses were, allegedly, required by the employer for employees to execute work-related duties.
ORANGE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Los Angeles employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a class action complaint alleging that Royal Health Care Center, Inc. violated the California Labor Code. The Royal Health Care Center, Inc. class action lawsuit, Case No. 30-2024-01418652-CU-OE-CXC, is currently pending in the Orange County Superior Court of the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.
According to the lawsuit filed, Defendant allegedly failed to reimburse employees for required business expenses. California Labor Code 2802 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, Plaintiff and other California Class Members were allegedly required to use their personal cellular phones as a result of and in furtherance of their job duties.
Defendant allegedly failed to accurately record and pay employees for the actual amount of time these employees worked. Pursuant to the Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders, Defendant was required to pay employees for all time worked, meaning the time during which an employee was subject to the control of an employer. Defendant allegedly required these employees to work off the clock without paying them for all the time they were under Defendant's control. To the extent that the time worked off the clock does not qualify for overtime premium payment, Defendant allegedly failed to pay minimum wages for the time worked off the-clock in violation of California Labor Code §§ 1194, 1197, and 1197.1.
