Summary

  • A class action filed in San Diego County Superior Court accuses Footprints Behavioral Interventions and Footprints Behavioral Health of violating California labor law across meal breaks, overtime, wages and expenses.
  • The complaint says employees worked more than 5 hours without off-duty meal breaks and were denied a second meal period on shifts lasting 10 hours.
  • Workers were allegedly interrupted during breaks, kept on call during supposed off-duty periods and not fully relieved of duty, causing missed breaks without extra compensation.
  • The suit also alleges failures to pay minimum and overtime wages, issue accurate wage statements, pay wages when due and reimburse required business expenses.
