In a suit filed in a California court last week, allegations of nonpayment of overtime have been made against Kroger Co. The complaint alleges that Kroger, along with other entities named in the suit, failed to pay drivers, dispatchers, and delivery support staff wages and overtime.
In addition to Jesse Blanco, lead plaintiff in the action, similarly situated employees are named in the action as well.
As alleged in the complaint, the stores routinely required plaintiffs to work more than eight hours per day and, in some instances, more than twelve hours per day. At times, plaintiffs were required to work more than forty hours per week, in some instances, seven days for extended time periods.
Additional allegations in the suit allege failure to provide meal and rest periods for plaintiffs, failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements to plaintiffs, and failure to pay wages to plaintiffs upon separation.
