Labor Law Attorneys Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC, File A Class Action Lawsuit Against Kensington Senior Alleging Failure to Provide Meal and Rest Periods

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Northern California labor law attorneys, at Zakay Law Group, APLC and JCL Law Firm, APC, filed a class action complaint against Kensington Redwood City, LLC and Kensington Senior Living, LLC (collectively, "Kensington Senior") for allegedly failing to provide employees with legally compliant meal and rest periods. The Kensington Senior class action lawsuit, Case No. 21-CIV-03030, is currently pending in the San Mateo County Superior Court of the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.

According to the lawsuit, Kensington Senior allegedly violated California Labor Code Sections §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 206.5, 226, 226.7, 510, 512, 558, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, and 1198 by failing to: (1) pay minimum wages; (2) pay overtime wages; (3) provide required meal and rest periods; (4) provide accurate itemized wage statements; and (5) provide wages when due.

Under California law, every employer shall pay to each employee, on the established payday for the period involved, not less than the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked in the payroll period, whether the remuneration is measured by time, piece, commission, or otherwise. Hours worked is defined in the applicable Wage Order as "the time during which an employee is subject to the control of an employer and includes all the time the employee is suffered or permitted to work, whether or not required to do so." Kensington Senior allegedly required its employees to perform work before and after their scheduled shifts, as well as during their off-duty meal breaks. The lawsuit alleges Kensington Senior failed to compensate its employees for any of the time spent under the employer's control while working off-the-clock. As such, Kensington Senior allegedly failed to pay its employees the applicable minimum wage for all hours worked in a payroll period.
