Asereth Medical Services Faces Class Action Over Alleged Wage Theft
Asereth Medical Services, Inc. faces a class action lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, with plaintiffs alleging widespread violations of California labor laws. The complaint, registered under case number 26STCV19187, centers on claims that the company failed to pay accurate wages and denied workers mandatory meal and rest periods.
Attorneys at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP represent the plaintiffs, alleging the healthcare provider consistently failed to record all hours worked. The suit claims staff were frequently forced to work off-the-clock and denied legally mandated rest breaks. According to the filing, employees working shifts of ten hours or more were routinely deprived of their required second and third rest periods.
Beyond break violations, the lawsuit addresses systemic underpayment issues. The company allegedly compensated sick leave at base rates rather than the required regular rate of pay and failed to reimburse staff for essential business expenses, violating California Labor Code sections 246 and 2802. This litigation highlights ongoing scrutiny into wage and hour practices within the state’s healthcare sector.
