Class Action Filed Against Southern California Rehabilitation Services

The lawsuit, identified as Case No. 26CV014274, claims that the defendant routinely violated California Labor Code requirements regarding meal and rest periods. According to the filing, employees were allegedly required to perform work duties while clocked out for scheduled meal breaks, while other shifts frequently lacked the legally required ten-minute rest intervals. The firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP represents the plaintiffs in this action.

Beyond the allegations concerning breaks, the complaint outlines a broader pattern of wage theft. It asserts that the employer failed to pay minimum and overtime wages, neglected to reimburse necessary business expenses, and did not provide accurate, itemized wage statements. The suit further contends that the defendant engaged in time-rounding practices specifically designed to avoid paying legally mandated penalties. These claims invoke multiple sections of the California Labor Code, including those governing timely payment of wages and sick leave compensation.
