California workers may be able to benefit from a $900,000 wage and hour class action settlement obtained by lead plaintiffs who alleged that Climatec Inc. and KX2 Holdings Buildings Technologies Group violated employment laws.
Employees for the companies alleged in their Climatec wage and hour class action lawsuit that the companies violated various state employment laws, including failure to pay overtime, minimum wage, and also failure to provide adequate meal breaks to non-exempt employees.
California wage and hour laws require that companies provide adequate pay, overtime pay, along with meal and rest breaks.
Overtime laws require a minimum of one and one-half pay for each hour an employee works above 40 hours a week or 12 hours in each day.
California workers are also entitled to 30 minute lunch breaks and a 10 minute break every four hours. Violations of California employment law can lead to steep fines.
Under the terms of the California Climatec wage and hour class action settlement, the companies have agreed to pay each Class Member a pro rata amount based on the number of hours worked.
Settlement checks will need to be cashed within 180 days after they are issued.
Non-exempt employees working for the company are automatically opted into the settlement and will have to actively opt out if they do not wish to participate.
Additionally, Class Members may dispute the number of workweeks used to calculate their settlement award.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the California Climatec wage and hour class action settlement, or to dispute the number of workweeks, is Dec. 21, 2018.
The final approval hearing is scheduled for Jan. 18, 2019.
