Summary
A class action complaint in Shasta County Superior Court accuses Northern California Rehabilitation Hospital of violating California labor law by failing to record all hours worked, including off-the-clock time.
The suit alleges employees were denied legally required meal and rest breaks, including 10-minute rest periods on shifts ranging from 2 hours to 10 hours or more.
It also claims the hospital underpaid sick leave by using base pay instead of regular pay rates and failed to reimburse required business expenses under California labor code provisions.
Case No. 211202 was filed by Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, adding to labor-law pressure on employers over timekeeping, break compliance and employee reimbursement practices.
