Washington Wage-and-Hour Class Action Filed Against The BoxMaker Inc. A new class action lawsuit highlights common wage-and-hour issues in the shipping and packaging industry across Washington State. The lawsuit against The BoxMaker, Inc., alleges the company failed to properly pay its non-exempt, hourly employees throughout Washington State. According to the complaint, employees were regularly required to work through legally required meal and rest breaks due to work schedules and staffing levels that pressured them to continuously meet shipping production goals. The lawsuit further alleges that employees were not provided compliant ten-minute rest periods for every four hours worked or thirty-minute meal periods for shifts over five hours, and were not compensated with the additional premium pay owed for missed breaks.
