RPNA’s $89 million judgment in a landmark class action employment suit was highlighted in the February 6, 2017 issue of San Fernando Valley Business Journal. The article discusses the impact of the 5-2 decision—which was argued in front of the California Supreme Court by RPNA partners Drew Pomerance and Michael Adreani—on how California employers approach meal and rest breaks. Specifically, it clarifies and sets forth for employers a “very clear-cut, easy-to-follow rule in terms of what their obligations are to employees during rest beaks,” said Adreani. Pomerance went on to emphasize that the decision is good for business since it sets a very clear standard for employers and will ultimately reduce lawsuits over rest breaks.
