IMPERIAL, Calif., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — **THIS IS AN ATTORNEY ADVERTISEMENT**
The San Diego employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a class action complaint alleging that Barrios Foods, Inc. violated the California Labor Code. The Barrios Foods, Inc. class action lawsuit, Case No. ECU004722, is currently pending in the Imperial County Superior Court of the State of California. A copy of the Complaint can be read here.
According to California Labor Law, companies are required to pay employees for all time worked, meaning the time during which an employee is subject to the control of an employer, including all the time the employees are permitted or suffered to permit this work. Allegedly, Defendant required their employees to work off the clock without paying them for all the time they were under Defendant’s control. To the extent that the time worked off the clock does not qualify for overtime premium payment, Defendant, allegedly, failed to pay minimum wages for the time worked off the clock in violation of Cal. Lab. Code §§ 1194,1197, and 1197.1
California Labor Code § 226 provides that every employer shall furnish each of his or her employees with an accurate itemized wage statement. According to the Complaint, Plaintiff was paid on an hourly basis. Therefore, Plaintiff’s wage statements should reflect all applicable pay periods in which the wages were earned pursuant to Cal. Lab. Code section 226 (a). Allegedly, the wage statements Defendant provided to Plaintiff failed to identify such information.
