$4,250,000.00 Settlement Denied Meal/Rest Breaks
$4,250,000 Settlement — Denied Meal and Rest Breaks
What Happened
Employees at a national motel chain were denied state-mandated meal and rest breaks and were also required to pay check cashing fees, reducing their take-home pay. Attorney Eric Kingsley negotiated a $4.25 million settlement compensating workers 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.
