SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Oct. 4, 2022
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The San
Francisco employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug
Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a lawsuit against Flights Restaurant
Group, Inc. alleging the company violated Labor Code § 2699, et
seq. seeking penalties for DEFENDANT's alleged violation of
California Labor Code §§ 201, 202, 203, 204
et seq., 210, 221, 226(a), 226.7, 227.3, 510, 512,
558(a)(1)(2), 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, and 2802. The lawsuit
against Flights Restaurant Group, Inc. is currently pending in the
Santa Clara County Superior Court, Case No. 22CV402958. To read a

According to the lawsuit filed, Flights Restaurant Group, Inc.
allegedly failed to fully relieve Plaintiff and other Aggrieved
Employees for their legally required thirty (30) minute meals
breaks. Employees were also allegedly required, from time to time,
to work in excess of four (4) hours without being provided the
legally required ten (10) minute rest periods. The California
Supreme Court defines off-duty rest periods as time during which an
employee is relieved from all work related duties and free from
employer control.
PAGA is a mechanism by which the State
of California itself can enforce state labor laws through
the employee suing under the PAGA who do so as the proxy or agent
of the state's labor law enforcement agencies. An action to recover
civil penalties under PAGA is fundamentally a law enforcement
action designed to protect the public and not to benefit private
parties. The purpose of PAGA is not to recover damages or
restitution, but to create a means of "deputizing" citizens as
private attorneys general to enforce the Labor Code.
