San Diego's Rady Children's Hospital faces wage and hour violation allegations.

The Case: Stephanie Jones v. Rady Children's Hospital

The Court: San Diego County Superior Court of the State of California

The Case No.: 37-2023-00027035-CU-OE-CTL

The Plaintiff: Stephanie Jones v. Rady Children's Hospital

Jones, the plaintiff in the case, filed a class action complaint alleging that Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego violated the California Labor Code.

The Defendant: Stephanie Jones v. Rady Children's Hospital

The defendant in the case, Rady Children's Hospital, faces numerous labor law violation allegations, including:

  • Failure to pay minimum wages

  • Failure to pay overtime wages

  • Failure to provide legally required meal and rest periods

  • Failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements

  • Failure to reimburse employees for required expenses

  • Failure to pay sick wages

  • Failure to pay wages when due

The allegations constitute violations of various applicable Labor Codes, including California Labor Code Sections 201-204, 226, 226.7, 233, 246, 510, 512, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 2802, and the applicable Wage Order(s). The alleged violations would give rise to civil penalties.

The Case: Stephanie Jones v. Rady Children's Hospital

According to the complaint and the plaintiff's allegations, Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego restricted their employees' activities, preventing unconstrained walks. Employees could not leave work premises during their rest periods. Since the applicable California Wage Order requires employers to provide employees with off-duty rest periods, and California's Supreme Court defined "off duty" as time when an employee is relieved from all work-related duties and free from employer control, this alleged behavior constitutes a labor law violation. The case, Stephanie Jones v. Rady Children's Hospital, is currently pending in the San Diego County Superior Court of the State of California.
