Summary
Los Angeles employment lawyers filed class action case 26STCV12647 against Miller Kaplan Arase LLP in California state court, alleging the accounting firm denied legally required meal and rest breaks and underpaid workers.
The complaint says employees sometimes worked more than five hours without a meal break and were required to work through off-duty breaks, with meal-period time allegedly rounded to avoid penalty pay.
It also alleges unpaid minimum and overtime wages, inaccurate itemized wage statements, unreimbursed business expenses, unpaid sick wages and late final pay under multiple California Labor Code sections.
The suit is now pending in Los Angeles Superior Court, adding to labor-law scrutiny of employer timekeeping, break compliance and wage-payment practices in California.
