American Pacific Mortgage Corporation allegedly did not provide employees meal and rest breaks, as required by California labor laws. This, allegedly, resulted in missed meal period overtime wages for employees.

PLACER, Cali., Nov. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Sacramento employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a class action complaint alleging that American Pacific Mortgage Corporation violated the California Labor Code. The American Pacific Mortgage Corporation class action lawsuit, Case No. S-CV-0049369, is currently pending in the Placer County Superior Court of the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.

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 and a second uninterrupted meal break when employees are required to work ten (10) hours. The Complaint claims that the company did not provide their employees who forfeited meal breaks additional compensation.

The Complaint further alleges American Pacific Mortgage Corporation failed to pay employees their accurate sick pay wages, which violates California Labor Code Section 246. Employees routinely earned non-discretionary incentive wages which increased their regular rate of pay. However, when paid sick pay wages, it was allegedly paid at the base rate of pay rather than the higher regular rate of pay.
