Veracity Research Sued Over Labor Violations

The class action complaint against Veracity Research Co., LLC is currently pending in the Orange County Superior Court of the State of California. The lawsuit alleges a number of violations of the California Labor Code, including the failure to pay minimum and overtime wages. Beyond meal and rest breaks, the suit claims that Veracity Research failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, failed to reimburse employees for required expenses, and did not pay sick wages or wages due at the time of termination. These allegations point to a broader pattern of purported wage and hour violations under state law. Under California law, non-exempt employees are generally entitled to a 30-minute unpaid meal break for a shift of more than five hours and a second one for a shift longer than ten hours. The law also mandates a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked. For each workday that a required meal or rest break is not provided, employers in California may be required to pay the employee an additional hour of pay at their regular rate. The lawsuit was filed by Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, an employment law firm with offices across California and in Chicago. The firm specializes in class action lawsuits against companies for alleged violations of the California Labor Code and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
