Settlement Checks Expected End of June 2013

As already reported in this blog, BCBG has reached a $1.4 Million settlement in a class action lawsuit settlement over allegations it violated California wage and hours laws in a case filed in 2009 after a successful mediation led by Richard E. Quintilone II Esq (req@quintlaw.com) and a team of other lawyers from multiple law firms.

According to Simpluris Inc. the Claims Administrator in this case, employee class members who have submitted valid claims should begin to recieve settlement payments in June 2013.  To confirm you have submitted a valid claim as well as to verify your address please call Simpluris Toll-Free 888-369-3780 or submit a question at http://www.simpluris.com/pages/member-claim-request.aspx 

This Court Judgment underscores the many questions that lawyers, employees, and employers have regarding meal and rest breaks. Normally California employers are required to pay premium pay for missed meal and rest periods. Employers looking to update their policies or have them reviewed to ensure they are in compliance should contact Quintilone & Associates at req@quintlaw.com.   For more information on seeking payment for missed meal and rest periods or off the clock work as well as reimbursement of business expenses and whether you have a potential claim please contact Quintilone & Associates at req@quintlaw.com
