RUBIO’S RESTAURANTS: Faces Two Employee Overtime Wage Suits in CA Court

Frederick, MARYLAND (SunStream News) -- Rubio’s Restaurants, Inc. faces two class actions filed in the Orange County, California Superior Court by its former employees, on behalf of all former and current Company employees who worked in the positions of general manager and assistant manager, and were classified as “exempt.” The suits involve the issue of whether employees and former employees in the general and assistant manager positions who worked in the California restaurants during specified time periods were misclassified as exempt and deprived of overtime pay. The Company believes these cases are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the related claims. These cases are in the early stages of discovery and the status of the class action certification is yet to be determined for both suits.
