PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiff contended that the defendants had a consistent policy that encouraged, permitted, or required employees to work off the clock, and so they failed to pay employees for all hours worked; failed to compensate employees for missed meal periods and rest breaks; failed to timely pay wages due upon separation from employment; and failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements.

DEFENDANTS' CONTENTIONS: Defendants denied any wrongdoing or liability and all the plaintiff's material allegations.

Result

The parties reached a settlement agreement wherein the defendants admitted no wrongdoing or liability but agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle class members' claims.
