According to the lawsuit, Unicare Community Health Center
allegedly violated California Labor Code Sections ยงยง
201, 202, 203, 204, 210, 226, 226.7, 246, 510, 512, 558, 1194,
1197, 1197.1, 1198 and 2802 by failing to: (1) pay minimum wages;
(2) pay overtime wages; (3) provide required meal and rest periods;
(4) reimburse for required business expenses; (5) provide accurate
itemized wage statements; and (6) provide wages when due.
As a result of their rigorous work schedules, Unicare Community
Health Center employees were allegedly unable to take
off duty meal breaks and were not fully relieved of duty for meal
periods. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges employees
were from time to time interrupted during their off-duty meal
breaks to complete tasks for Unicare Community Health Center.
Employees were allegedly required to perform work as
ordered by Unicare Community Health Center for more than five (5)
hours during a shift without receiving an off-duty meal break.
Further, the lawsuit alleges Unicare Community Health
Center failed to provide employees with a second off-duty meal
period each workday in which these employees were required by
Unicare Community Health Center to work ten (10) hours of work. The
policy of Unicare Community Health Center, allegedly
caused employees to remain on-call and on duty during what was
supposed to be their off-duty meal periods. Employees therefore
allegedly forfeited meal breaks without additional
compensation and in accordance with the strict corporate policy and
practice of Unicare Community Health Center.

Health Center lawsuit, please contact Attorney Jackland Hom today by calling (619)
