Santa Cruz, California — Greenwaste Recovery, LLC is facing allegations of violating California labor laws by failing to provide accurate wages to its employees. A class action lawsuit claims that the company neglected to ensure employees received proper meal and rest breaks, leading to significant issues under state labor regulations.
The lawsuit, filed by the employment law firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, is currently pending in the Santa Cruz County Superior Court under Case No. 25CV02670. Allegations against the company include the failure to pay minimum and overtime wages, the provision of legally mandated meal and rest periods, and the issuance of accurate itemized wage statements.
Specific accusations highlight that Greenwaste Recovery required workers to remain on duty during what should have been their designated meal and rest times. Additionally, the company is alleged to have manipulated meal period durations to avoid penalties for not providing adequate breaks. Employees reportedly did not receive short rest breaks after working more than four hours and were denied full meal breaks after shifts exceeding five hours.
According to the lawsuit, these practices contravene several provisions of the California Labor Code, including sections related to wage payment and mandated breaks. The alleged actions expose the company to potential civil penalties resulting from these breaches.
