Washington Wage-and-Hour Class Action Filed Against Property Management Company A new class action lawsuit highlights common wage-and-hour issues in the property management industry across Washington State. The lawsuit was filed by a former maintenance supervisor against Coast Property Management, alleging the company failed to properly pay hourly employees working at apartment communities throughout Washington. According to the complaint, property management employees—including maintenance staff and on-site workers—were regularly required to work through legally required meal and rest breaks due to chronic understaffing. The lawsuit further alleges that employees were not paid overtime even when they worked more than 40 hours per week, that wages were capped regardless of actual hours worked, and that paystubs failed to accurately reflect all time worked.

Matthew Wrightman has filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Aramark, alleging that the company routinely violated Washington wage-and-hour laws for hourly employees across the state. The complaint claims Aramark failed to provide legally required meal and rest breaks, did not pay required premium pay when those breaks were missed or interrupted, and failed to pay overtime when total compensable work time exceeded 40 hours in a week. It also alleges that Seattle-based workers were subjected to last-minute schedule changes and canceled shifts without the predictability pay required by Seattle’s Secure Scheduling Ordinance. The lawsuit seeks to represent all non-exempt Aramark employees in Washington (with a Seattle subclass), and requests unpaid wages, break premiums, overtime, statutory penalties, and double damages
