Veracity Research Sued for Allegedly Denying Meal Breaks

The class-action lawsuit against Veracity Research Co., LLC is currently pending in the Orange County Superior Court of the State of California. The case, filed by the employment law attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, centers on allegations that the company failed to provide employees with legally mandated meal and rest breaks. Under California law, non-exempt employees are entitled to a 30-minute, uninterrupted meal break if they work more than five hours in a day. They are also guaranteed a 10-minute paid rest break for every four hours worked. The lawsuit alleges that Veracity Research's failure to provide these breaks resulted in inaccurate time-keeping and underpayment of wages. For each day that a meal or rest break is not provided, California labor law requires the employer to pay the employee one additional hour of pay at their regular rate. If both a meal and a rest break are missed on the same day, the employee is owed two additional hours of pay. The statute of limitations for these claims can extend back up to four years. The law firm representing the employees, Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, specializes in employment law and has a history of filing class-action lawsuits against companies for alleged labor code violations. Their cases often involve claims of failure to pay overtime, provide accurate wage statements, and reimburse business expenses, in addition to meal and rest break violations. While Veracity Research has not publicly responded to the lawsuit, online reviews from current and former employees on platforms like Indeed.com frequently mention concerns about pay, work-life balance, and management. These employee reviews offer a broader context of workplace satisfaction at the company.
