In recent news, Hyatt Corporation faces allegations of California Labor Code violations stemming from employee claims that it did not pay for all hours worked.
Case: Josh Montes v. Hyatt Corporation dba The Seabird
Court: San Diego County Superior Court of the State of California
Case No.: 25CU065911N
The plaintiff, Montes, filed a class action complaint against Hyatt Corporation for allegedly failing to provide meal and rest breaks. Montes claims that rigorous work schedules left Hyatt employees unable to take off-duty rest breaks and not fully relieved of duty during rest periods. The plaintiffs specifically claimed that they were required to work more than 4 hours without a 10-minute rest period due to excessive workload and inadequate staffing. From time to time, employees were also allegedly denied both their legally mandated ten-minute rest breaks for shifts lasting 6 to 8 hours and all three of their legally mandated ten-minute breaks for shifts lasting 10 hours or more. According to the plaintiff, Hyatt Corporation also allegedly failed to provide the required one-hour wage payment for missed breaks.
The defendant in the case, Hyatt Corporation (dba The Seabird), faces allegations that it violated multiple California State Labor Code Sections, including §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 210, 226.7, 510, 512, 558, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, 1198.5, and 2802.
