The class action complaint alleges, "DEFENDANT unlawfully and unilaterally failed to accurately calculate minimum and overtime wages for all time worked by PLAINTIFF and other members of the CALIFORNIA CLASS in order to avoid paying these employees the correct minimum wage and overtime compensation. As a result, PLAINTIFF and the other members of the CALIFORNIA CLASS allegedly forfeited wages due them for working without compensation at the correct minimum wage and overtime rates."

According to the class action complaint, the company's non-exempt employees were also allegedly unable to take off duty meal breaks due to their rigorous work schedules. California labor laws require an employer to provide an employee required to perform work for more than five (5) hours during a shift with, a thirty (30) minute uninterrupted meal break prior to the end of the employee's fifth (5th) hour of work. The complaint alleges that the company did not provide their employees who forfeited meal breaks additional compensation.
