The lawsuit claims that many employees have gone over five hours without receiving a legally mandated off-duty meal break.

Key allegations include the failure to pay minimum wages and overtime wages, providing accurate itemized wage statements, as well as not reimbursing employees for business expenses incurred during work.
Who is Affected?
