Labor and Employment Firm Zakay Law Group APLC Files A Class Action Lawsuit Against Heritage Health Network Alleging Failure to Pay All Wages Due

Zakay Law Group, a San Diego-based labor and employment firm, filed a class action complaint (Case No. CVRI2605029) against Heritage Health Network LLC in Riverside County Superior Court on August 26, 2026. The lawsuit alleges the healthcare employer violated multiple sections of the California Labor Code through a pattern of wage and hour violations.

The complaint claims Heritage Health Network failed to pay minimum wages, overtime compensation, and wages when due. The core allegation centers on systematic denial of meal and rest breaks: employees allegedly worked shifts exceeding four hours without the required ten-minute rest periods, and were denied the full complement of rest periods mandated by law (one ten-minute break for 2-4 hour shifts, two for 6-8 hour shifts, and three for 10+ hour shifts). The firm attributes these violations to inadequate staffing levels and overly demanding work schedules that prevented employees from taking off-duty, fully relieved breaks. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges Heritage Health Network failed to provide one-hour wages in lieu of missed breaks, failed to issue accurate itemized wage statements, failed to reimburse business expenses, and failed to permit employee record inspections.

The case is currently pending in Riverside County Superior Court. No settlement or judgment has been reached. Zakay Law Group is accepting inquiries from affected employees.
