The San Francisco-based employment law firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP filed a class action complaint in Shasta County Superior Court (Case No. 211202) against Northern California Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC on behalf of employees alleging systematic wage-and-hour violations under California Labor Code.

The lawsuit asserts that the hospital failed to provide legally mandated meal and rest periods, requiring employees to work shifts of four or more hours without ten-minute rest breaks, and denying required rest periods based on shift length. The complaint further alleges that the hospital underpaid sick wages by providing compensation at the base rate rather than the regular rate of pay, and failed to reimburse employees for job-related business expenses, thereby violating California Labor Code sections 246 and 2802.

The case is currently pending in Shasta County Superior Court. The firm is accepting inquiries from affected employees and describing the matter as a class action, indicating multiple plaintiffs are part of the litigation.
