Facts

Plaintiff Kelly Wilson worked as a nurse for defendant Primary Provider Management Company, Inc., as an exempt employee. Plaintiff filed a class action lawsuit against defendant for wage and hour violations.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiff contended defendant misclassified plaintiff and other nurses as exempt or salaried employees rather than non-exempt or hourly employees. Plaintiff contended that defendant violated California's Unfair Competition Law, the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Private Attorneys General Act for failing to compensate plaintiff's overtime and double time wages; failing to provide proper meal breaks and rest breaks; failing to provide accurate wage statements and failing to provide all wages due at separation.

DEFENDANTS' CONTENTIONS: Defendant denied plaintiff's contentions.
