The legal action, registered as Case No. 26STCV16588, centers on claims that the firm required employees to use personal cellular devices for work-related tasks without providing the mandatory indemnification required under California Labor Code Section 2802. Beyond these unreimbursed expenses, the lawsuit outlines a broader pattern of alleged non-compliance, including failure to pay minimum and overtime wages, denial of legally mandated meal and rest periods, and the issuance of inaccurate itemized wage statements.
Ultracare Services Faces Class Action Over Unpaid Expenses and Wages
A new class action lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court accuses home health provider Ultracare Services LLC of systematically violating California labor laws. The complaint, brought by attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, alleges the company failed to compensate staff for essential business costs and mandated work hours.
The litigation further asserts that the company failed to provide sick leave and neglected to pay wages when they were due. These allegations invoke a wide range of California Labor Code sections, including 201-203 and 226.7, which govern wage protections and working conditions. The plaintiffs are seeking civil penalties for these practices, citing violations of state wage orders and the California Labor Code. Employees impacted by these policies are encouraged to contact legal counsel to discuss potential claims.
