Trademark Construction Co., Inc. and a company that does business in California as J.M.W. Truss and Components have been named as defendants in a former employee’s proposed class action lawsuit. The plaintiff, who worked for the defendants as a carpenter and safety coordinator, claims his former employers violated state labor law in that they failed to:

• compensate employees at least the minimum hourly wage for all hours worked;
• required them to work off-the-clock;
• rounded down their reported hours;
• pay proper overtime wages for hours worked over 40 in a week;
• provide premium pay for hours worked in excess of 8 in a day;
• provide 10-minute rest periods for every four hours worked;
• reimburse employees for expenses associated with using cell phones or personal vehicles for business purposes and purchasing necessary equipment; and
• provide accurate wage statements.

The plaintiff claims he generally worked nine- to 12- hour shifts five or six days per week without receiving proper wages.

Originally filed in state court, the lawsuit has since been removed to California federal court.
