The San Francisco employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a class action complaint alleging that BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. violated the California Labor Code. The BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. class action lawsuit, Case No. 25-CIV-09240, is currently pending in the San Mateo County Superior Court of the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.
According to the lawsuit filed, BJ’s Restaurants, Inc allegedly (a) failed to pay minimum wages, (b) failed to pay overtime wages, (c) failed to provide legally required meal and rest periods, (d) failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, (e) failed to reimburse for required expenses, (f) failed to pay sick wages, and (g) failed to provide wages when due, all in violation of the applicable Labor Code sections listed in California Labor Code Sections 201-203, 226, 226.7, 233, 246, 510, 512, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 2802, and the applicable Wage Order(s), and thereby gives rise to civil penalties as a result of such alleged conduct.
The Complaint further alleges employees were required from time to time to work in excess of four (4) hours without being provided ten (10) minute rest periods. Additionally, these employees were denied their first rest periods of at least ten (10) minutes for some shifts worked of at least two (2) to four (4) hours from time to time, a first and second rest period of at least ten (10) minutes for some shifts worked of between six (6) and eight (8) hours from time to time, and a first, second and third rest period of at least ten (10) minutes for some shifts worked for ten (10) hours or more from time to time. The wage statements allegedly failed to identify the accurate total hours worked each pay period. When the hours shown on the wage statement were added up, they did not equal the actual total hours worked during the pay period in alleged violation of Cal. Code 226 (a)(2).
