SACRAMENTO, June 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Sacramento employment law
attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a
PAGA-Only lawsuit against EPN Enterprises Inc., alleging the
company violated the California Labor Code. The lawsuit against EPN
Enterprises Inc., is currently pending in the Sacramento County
Superior Court, Case No. 34-2021-00300162. To read a copy of the
Complaint, please click here.
Cal. Lab. Code ยง 226 states that employers shall provide
employees with accurate itemized wage statements showing, among
other things "gross wages earned and all applicable hourly rates in
effect during the pay period..." From time to time, DEFENDANT
allegedly violated this California Labor Code by allegedly failing
to provide accurate itemized wage statements.
PAGA is a mechanism by which the State
of California itself can enforce state labor laws through
the employee suing under the PAGA who do so as the proxy or agent
of the state's labor law enforcement agencies. An action to recover
civil penalties under PAGA is fundamentally a law enforcement
action designed to protect the public and not to benefit private
parties. The purpose of PAGA is not to recover damages or
restitution, but to create a means of "deputizing" citizens as
private attorneys general to enforce the Labor Code. As a result of
their rigorous work schedules, "PLAINTIFFS and other AGGRIEVED
EMPLOYEES were from time to time denied their proper rest periods
by DEFENDANT and DEFENDANT's managers."
