Case: Individual Employment Rights/Arbitration (Cal. Ct. App., 2nd Dist.)

A trial court didn’t err in ruling that a temporary staffing company forklift operator’s state law claim against Maersk, Inc. for waiting time penalties, as applied to his minimum wage claims, wasn’t arbitrable, where the trial court didn’t prevent the arbitrator from deciding if Maersk needed to pay penalties based on overtime, meal period, and rest break violations, a California appellate court held.
