• Case Type: Meal and rest break violations / unlawful check cashing fees
• Result: $2,800,000 settlement
• Client Group: Cell phone provider employees
• Defendant: National cell phone provider

What Happened

Employees at a national cell phone provider were denied state-mandated meal and rest breaks and were required to pay check cashing fees, directly reducing their earned wages. Kingsley Szamet Employment Lawyers negotiated a $2.8 million settlement securing compensation for both violations.

What This Means for You

California law entitles most employees to meal and rest breaks and prohibits employers from passing check cashing fees on to workers. If you have experienced either of these violations, you may be owed compensation.
