The legal action, brought by the firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, claims the healthcare provider required staff to work through scheduled meal periods without relief. According to the complaint, employees were frequently denied the legally required thirty-minute breaks, even during shifts exceeding ten hours. The filing further alleges that the company engaged in rounding practices to avoid paying statutorily required penalties for missed breaks.
