Did The Imagine Group, LLC Fail to Pay Their California Employees?
/
In a recent lawsuit, an Imagine Group employee claims the company failed to provide him full wages for his hours.
The Case: Eric Martin v. The Imagine Group, LLC
The Court: Los Angeles County Superior Court
The Case No.: 24STCV27564
The Plaintiff: Eric Martin v. The Imagine Group, LLC
The plaintiff, Eric Martin, filed a class action complaint alleging that The Imagine Group, LLC violated the California Labor Code. As a California employer, The Imagine Group, LLC was required to pay their workers for all the time they worked (defined as time an employee is under their employee's control, including the time a worker is "permitted or suffered" to work). According to Martin's complaint, The Imagine Group had employees occasionally complete "off-the-clock" work without providing payment. Since off-the-clock work does not qualify for overtime premium payment, the plaintiff and others in similar scenarios at The Imagine Group faced alleged minimum wage and overtime violations.
The Defendant: Eric Martin v. The Imagine Group, LLC
The Imagine Group, LLC allegedly failed to record all their California employees' hours accurately. According to the complaint filed by Martin, the plaintiff, inaccurate recording of employee hours led to lost wages and inaccurate wage statements.
The Allegations: Eric Martin v. The Imagine Group, LLC
Martin claims that The Imagine Group, LLC engaged in several labor law violations connected to their standard operating processes. The lawsuit alleges Labor Code § 2699 violations and California Labor Code §§ 1194, 1197, 1197.1, and 226. In addition to minimum and overtime wage violation allegations, the plaintiff also included allegations that The Imagine Group failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements (as required by California Labor Code § 226). According to labor law, employers must provide employees with an accurate wage statement for each pay period that includes applicable hourly rates, total hours worked, and dates of the current pay period. However, the plaintiff claims that wage statements from The Imagine Group did not contain all the necessary information.
