SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIF. (PRWEB) OCTOBER 22, 2021

The Southern California labor law attorneys, at Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC, filed a class action complaint against SLO Arches, Inc. ("SLO Arches"), Ivernia, Incorporated ("Ivernia"), and Golden Seneca, Inc. ("Golden Seneca") (collectively, "McDonald's"), McDonald's franchisees, for allegedly failing to provide employees with legally compliant meal and rest periods. The McDonald's class action lawsuit, Case No. 21CV-0533, is currently pending in the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court of the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.
According to the lawsuit, McDonald's allegedly violated California Labor Code Sections §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 226, 226.7, 510, 512, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, and 2802 by failing to: (1) pay overtime wages; (2) pay minimum wages; (3) provide required meal and rest periods; (4) reimburse for required business expenses; (5) provide accurate itemized wage statements; and (6) provide wages when due.

Under California law, every employer shall pay to each employee, on the established payday for the period involved, not less than the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked in the payroll period, whether the remuneration is measured by time, piece, commission, or otherwise. Hours worked is defined in the applicable Wage Order as “the time during which an employee is subject to the control of an employer and includes all the time the employee is suffered or permitted to work, whether or not required to do so.” McDonald's allegedly required its employees to perform work before and after their scheduled shifts, as well as during their off-duty meal breaks. The lawsuit alleges McDonald's failed to compensate its employees for any of the time spent under the employer's control while working off-the-clock. As such, McDonald's allegedly failed to pay its employees the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked in a payroll period.
