Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP filed a class action complaint against Redtail Technology, Inc. alleging violations of California Labor Code meal and rest period requirements, according to a PR Newswire announcement. The case, No. 26CV022766, is pending in Sacramento County Superior Court.

Blumenthal Nordrehaug's Claims Against Redtail Technology

The complaint alleges Redtail Technology required employees to work during their meal periods. Employees were allegedly, from time to time, unable to take thirty minute off duty meal breaks or were not fully relieved of duty for their meal periods, according to the filing.

The lawsuit further alleges employees were required to perform work for more than five hours during some shifts without receiving a meal break. Redtail also allegedly failed to provide a second off-duty meal period on some workdays when employees were required to work ten hours.

The complaint claims Redtail engaged in the practice of rounding meal period times to avoid paying penalties to employees, so employees unknowingly forfeited meal breaks without additional compensation. It also alleges the company required employees to use their own personal cellular phones for job duties without reimbursement or indemnification, in violation of California Labor Code section 2802.
