Case: Wage & Hour/Meal Breaks Pay (9th Cir.)

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded multiple wage and hour claims under Oregon law brought by restaurant employees against Jack in the Box Inc., finding that the district court erred in granting summary judgment on the willfulness of Workers’ Benefit Fund overdeductions, erred in denying class certification for unpaid meal break claims, and erred in finding shoe deductions were for employees’ benefit, because factual disputes remained for jury determination on willfulness and employee benefit issues.
