Flores, et al. v. Allie’s Party Equipment Rental, Inc., et al. - Case No. 37-2017-00003817-CU-OE-NC SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, NORTH COUNTY JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Flores, et al. v. Allie’s Party Equipment Rental, Inc., et al.
Case No. 37-2017-00003817-CU-OE-NC
If you were employed by Allie’s Party Equipment Rental, Inc. in a non-exempt capacity at any time from January 31, 2013 through September 1, 2017 you may be entitled to receive money from a class action settlement.
Background of the Litigation
Former employees have sued Allie’s Party Equipment Rental, Inc. alleging that Defendant failed to comply with California labor laws by failing to authorize, permit, and/or provide all required meal and rest periods (or pay premium wages in lieu thereof), by unlawfully auto-deducting 30 minutes of pay for shifts actually worked lasting 6 hours or longer for meal periods that were not authorized, permitted, and/or provided, by unlawfully deducting pay for time actually worked, by failing to timely pay final wages upon termination or resignation, and by failing to provide properly itemized wage statements, in violation of the California Labor Code, the relevant IWC Wage Order, and section 17200, et seq. of the California Business and Professions Code, and as a result were not properly paid for their work. The claims of both the former employees and the class have been settled which the Court has preliminarily approved.
The alleged Class claims were settled because Plaintiffs and their attorneys believe that the amount of the settlement is fair and reasonable in light of the Bankruptcy Proceeding, strength of the claims and other factors. That way, both sides avoid the risks and costs of continued litigation, and the Class members who submit claim forms will get a settlement payment. The Plaintiffs and their attorneys think the settlement is in the best interest for Class members.
Settlement
The Parties have reached an agreement to settle the Class Action Settlement (“Settlement”), which is subject to final approval by the Court. The Final Approval Hearing will be held on June 17, 2022 at 1:30 p.m., in Department N-29 of the San Diego Superior Court, North County Judicial District, located at 325 South Melrose, Vista, San Diego, California 92081, before the Honorable Robert P. Dahlquist.
