Martinez Cleaning Co. Inc. and two individual owners are on the receiving end of a proposed class and collective action that accuses them of failing to comply with state and federal labor laws. The plaintiff in the case says she worked for the defendant’s janitorial and custodial services company and is owed unpaid minimum and overtime wages. According to the suit, she often worked more than 40 hours per week without receiving time-and-a-half wages and was paid only $8.00 per hour for her work with one of her two clients. The complaint claims the defendants many times required employees to perform work for more than one client, but did not accurately calculate their total hours worked at all locations.

The complaint further argues that employees like the plaintiff were not provided with accurate wage statements that recorded their hours and pay rates, or wage notices that explained their rights under state and federal labor laws.
