Facts

Daisy Vasquez and Bryan Joseph filed a putative wage and hour class action against TWC Administration LLC, Time Warner Cable Inc., and Time Warner Cable NY LLC (together, TWC).

Contentions

PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiffs worked for defendants in Los Angeles as non-exempt employees. Plaintiffs accused defendants of miscalculating the regular rate of pay, which affected the calculation of overtime pay. As a result, plaintiffs were not paid for all wages due.

Plaintiffs asserted claims for failure to pay wages in violation of the California Labor Code, failure to pay wages in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, failure to provide accurate itemized statements in violation of the Labor Code, waiting time penalties under the Labor Code, unfair competition in violation of California Business & Professions Code, and penalties pursuant to the Labor Code.

DEFENDANTS' CONTENTIONS:
Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint, asserting, among other things, that plaintiffs' lacked standing.

Result

The court rejected each of plaintiffs' three theories on liability. Accordingly, the court granted TWC's summary judgment motion and dismissed the action.
