What Is This Settlement About?
The lawsuit was filed by former and current AT&T employees Jalen Gilbert, Edgardo Marquina, Marvin Louka, Ulises Uribe, and Julian Domingo. They alleged that AT&T Mobility Services LLC violated California labor laws by failing to pay workers for all hours worked, including overtime, and failing to provide compliant meal and rest breaks. Additional claims included failure to reimburse business expenses, issue accurate wage statements, pay wages when due, and pay sick pay wages. AT&T denies the allegations. The Court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation.
