According to the filed complaint, Apria Healthcare LLC is accused of multiple labor violations, including: (a) not paying minimum wages, (b) failing to compensate overtime, (c) not providing required meal and rest breaks, (d) issuing inaccurate or incomplete wage statements, (e) not reimbursing necessary business expenses, (f) failing to properly pay sick leave, and (g) not paying wages on time. These alleged actions are said to breach various provisions of the California Labor Code—specifically Sections 201–203, 226, 226.7, 233, 246, 510, 512, 1194, 1197, 1197.1, and 2802—as well as applicable Wage Orders, potentially resulting in civil penalties.
The complaint further claims that the company underpaid employees for sick leave by calculating those wages using the base hourly rate rather than the higher regular rate of pay. Employees reportedly earned additional non-discretionary incentive compensation, which should have been factored into their regular rate. Under California Labor Code Section 246, paid sick leave for nonexempt workers must be calculated by dividing total wages—excluding overtime premiums—by total hours worked over the prior 90-day period. The lawsuit alleges that Apria Healthcare LLC did not follow this method.
