Green Wall Tech Pays $1.5M to Settle Alameda PAGA Lawsuit
In Carlos Miramontes v. Green Wall Tech, Inc., a former hourly employee filed a representative action in Alameda County Superior Court alleging systemic violations of the California Labor Code. The lawsuit claimed that Green Wall Tech forced employees to perform off-the-clock work, including mandatory pre-shift COVID-19 screenings and health questionnaires, without compensation. Furthermore, the plaintiff alleged that the company failed to provide duty-free meal and rest periods or pay the required premium wages for interrupted breaks. Despite a formal answer denying all allegations and asserting various immunities , the defendants agreed to a $1,500,000 settlement to resolve the claims and statutory penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).
