SAN DIEGO, Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The San Diego employment law attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP filed a class action lawsuit against United Airlines, Inc., alleging that the company failed to lawfully calculate and pay their employees the correct overtime. The class action lawsuit against United Airlines is currently pending in the San Diego County Superior Court, Case No. 37-2019-00008533-CU-OE-CTL. To read a copy of the Complaint, please click here.

The class action lawsuit alleges that DEFENDANT’s uniform policy and practice to not pay the members of the CALIFORNIA CLASS the correct overtime rate for all overtime worked in accordance with applicable law is evidenced by DEFENDANT’s business records. State and federal law provides that employees must be paid overtime at one-and one- half times their “regular rate of pay.” PLAINTIFF and other CALIFORNIA CLASS Members are compensated at an hourly rate plus incentive pay that was tied to specific elements of an employee’s performance.

Additionally the complaint alleges PLAINTIFF and other CALIFORNIA CLASS Member are also from time to time unable to take off duty meal breaks and are not fully relieved of duty for meal periods due to having such rigorous work schedules. California labor laws require an employer to provide an employee required to perform work for more than five (5) hours during a shift with, a thirty (30) minute uninterrupted meal break prior to the end of the employee’s fifth (5th) hour of work.
