A class action lawsuit has been filed against a North Carolina-based company, alleging serious violations of California labor laws. The complaint, lodged by Evan Romer on December 27, 2024, in the Superior Court of California for the County of Santa Clara, accuses Snap One, LLC of failing to adhere to several labor regulations that protect employee rights.
Evan Romer, who worked as an hourly-paid, non-exempt employee for Snap One from July 2018 to December 2024, claims that the company engaged in multiple unlawful practices. These include not paying minimum and overtime wages, failing to provide meal and rest periods as mandated by law, and not furnishing accurate wage statements. Romer alleges that these actions violate various sections of the California Labor Code and the Business & Professions Code. "Defendants have obtained valuable property, money and services from Plaintiff," Romer states in his complaint. He argues that these practices are not only unfair but also detrimental to employees' financial well-being.
The lawsuit outlines eight causes of action against Snap One: failure to pay minimum and straight time wages; failure to pay overtime wages; failure to provide meal periods; failure to authorize rest periods; failure to timely pay final wages upon termination; failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements; failure to indemnify employees for expenditures; and engaging in unfair business practices. Each claim is supported by specific allegations detailing how Snap One allegedly failed its legal obligations under California law.
Romer seeks a range of remedies from the court. These include unpaid wages with interest, statutory penalties for each violation, restitution under California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL), injunctive relief to prevent future violations, and attorneys' fees. The complaint also demands a jury trial for all issues triable by jury.
Representing Romer is attorney John G. Yslas from Wilshire Law Firm. The case has been assigned Case No.: 24CV455135 and will be reviewed by Judge L. Ayala at the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County.
