A proposed class action that has recently been removed from state to federal court in California claims defendants Host International, Inc. and HMS Host USA, Inc. have committed various labor law violations. The complaint alleges the airport shop staffing companies broke state and federal wage and hour laws in the following ways:

• failing to pay minimum wage for all hours worked by requiring employees to work off the clock or during breaks without compensation;
• failing to pay premium overtime pay for hours over 40 each week, over eight each day, or the seventh day in a workweek;
• failing to pay “reporting time pay” when employees reported to work and were sent home before they worked their full shifts;
• failing to provide uninterrupted meal and rest breaks; and
• failing to provide accurate wage statements that would allow employees to determine whether they were being underpaid.
