Five Disney entities are named as defendants in a proposed 10-count class action lawsuit in which the plaintiff claims he was not paid proper wages during the last four years. The complaint, which since its filing has been removed from Los Angeles County Superior Court to federal court, names the below as defendants:

• Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. Inc.;
• Disney Entertainment Productions;
• The Walt Disney Company;
• Disney Worldwide Services, Inc.; and
• Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide. 

The plaintiff accuses the defendants of several California Labor Code violations, from allegedly unpaid minimum wages and improperly calculated overtime pay to a failure to pay all wages to employees who were let go or quit. The case, which is short on specifics of the plaintiff’s work situation, further claims the defendants failed to provide members of the proposed class with adequate rest and meal periods, as well as accurately itemized statements for each pay period.
