Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
I. BACKGROUND
According to Wilcox’s complaint, Wilcox is a resident of California and a former employee of ATC and Defendant UCLA Harbor Medical Center Guild, Inc. (Compl. ¶ 2, ECF No. 1-1.) Wilcox alleges that UCLA Harbor outsourced labor and payroll services to ATC, a staffing agency. (Id. ¶ 3.) Without alleging relevant factual details, Wilcox alleges that she and putative class members suffered several workplace violations: (1) failure to pay overtime wages, (2) failure to pay minimum wages, (3) failure to provide meal periods, (4) failure to provide rest periods, (5) waiting time penalties, (6) wage statement violations, and (7) failure to reimburse. (Id. ¶¶ 32–90.) Wilcox also brings a derivative claim under the California Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq. (Id. ¶¶ 91–95.) Wilcox seeks to represent a putative class of “all current and former non- exempt employees of Defendants within the State of California at any time commencing four (4) years preceding the filing of Plaintiff’s complaint up until the time that notice of the class action is provided to the class.” (Id. ¶ 22.)
