Summary
Los Angeles attorneys filed a class action in California state court accusing Ultracare Services LLC of seven labor violations, including unpaid minimum and overtime wages, missed breaks and late wage payments.
Section 2802 reimbursement claims sit at the center of the case, with the complaint alleging employees had to use personal cellphones for work and were not repaid for those business expenses.
The suit says those unreimbursed costs also contributed to inaccurate itemized wage statements, adding to alleged violations under Labor Code sections including 201-203, 226, 226.7, 233, 246, 510, 512, 1194, 1197, 1197.1 and 2802.
Case No. 26STCV16588 is pending in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where the claims could expose the home health care company to civil penalties if the allegations are proven.
