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 for alleged willful wage theft.
