Class Action Lawsuit Against Auto Car, Inc., Alleging Unpaid Overtime Wages and Failure to Provide Required Meal and Rest Breaks

The Sacramento labor law attorneys at Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Auto Car, Inc., failed to correctly classify their California auto Service Advisor employees as “non-exempt”, resulting in alleged unpaid overtime wages. The Auto Car, Inc., class action lawsuit, Case No. SCV0040342 is currently pending in the Placer County Superior Court for the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.

According to the lawsuit, Auto Car, Inc., allegedly fails to accurately classify their auto Service Advisor employees as “non-exempt” employees and due to this misclassification, PLAINTIFF and the other CALIFORNIA CLASS Members are not provided with
overtime compensation and other benefits required by law as a result of being classified as “exempt” by DEFENDANT. As a matter of company policy, practice, and procedure, Auto Car, Inc., has uniformly, unlawfully, unfairly and/or deceptively classified every Service Advisor as exempt from overtime pay and other related benefits, failed to pay the required overtime compensation and otherwise failed to comply with all applicable labor laws with respect to these Service Advisors.

Furthermore, the Complaint claims that Auto Car, Inc., is in violation of Cal. Lab. Code §§ 226.7 and 512, by allegedly failing to provide Plaintiff and the other members of the California Class with all legally required off-duty, uninterrupted thirty (30) minute meal breaks and the legally required paid rest breaks.
