Jileea Jordan Leads Class Action Against Wax Center Partners Intermediate Holdco LLC
The case, titled Jileea Jordan v. Wax Center Partners Intermediate Holdco LLC, was filed in the Alameda Superior Court of the State of California and is identified under Case No. 22CV018596. Jileea Jordan, the plaintiff, was employed by Wax Center Partners in California from February 18, 2022, to April 26, 2022. During her employment, she was classified as a non-exempt employee, entitling her to hourly wages, overtime pay, and crucial meal and rest periods as dictated by California labor law. The lawsuit asserts that Wax Center Partners failed to uphold these legal obligations.
Allegations of Missed Breaks and Off-the-Clock Work at Wax Center Partners
According to the lawsuit, Wax Center Partners allegedly required employees to work during their designated meal breaks and remain on duty during rest periods. Furthermore, the claim states that employees were compelled to perform “off the clock” work, including mandatory drug and COVID-19 testing, as well as temperature checks, as a condition of their employment. These practices, the lawsuit argues, are in violation of California wage and hour laws.
The core allegation of the class action lawsuit is that Wax Center Partners Holdco LLC did not provide employees with legally required meal breaks and rest periods. The plaintiff contends that employees were often required to work more than four hours without receiving a 10-minute rest period. Beyond the alleged meal and rest break violations, the lawsuit also claims failures regarding minimum wage and overtime pay. Additionally, Wax Center Partners is accused of not furnishing employees with accurate and complete itemized wage statements. California law mandates that employers provide employees with detailed wage statements, including gross and net wages, hourly rates, and hours worked at each rate.
