A legal battle is brewing as a former employee takes on his previous employer over alleged labor violations. Eric Doctolero filed a complaint against Consolidated Maintenance Solutions, LLC in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, on October 20, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that the company failed to comply with several labor laws, including those related to overtime pay and meal breaks.
The case centers around claims that Consolidated Maintenance Solutions, an Arizona-based company operating in California, systematically violated various provisions of the California Labor Code. According to Doctolero’s complaint, he and other similarly situated employees were not paid for all hours worked and were denied proper meal and rest breaks. The complaint states that employees often worked over eight hours a day or forty hours a week without receiving due overtime compensation. Furthermore, it alleges that the company engaged in “rounding” practices that shortchanged workers’ time records and required off-the-clock work.
Doctolero also accuses the company of failing to incorporate non-discretionary incentive-based compensation into the regular rate of pay when calculating overtime wages. This omission allegedly resulted in employees not receiving full premium wages owed for overtime work. Additionally, the complaint highlights deficiencies in providing legally mandated meal and rest periods. Employees reportedly had to eat while working or skip breaks altogether due to demanding schedules.
Moreover, the lawsuit points out issues with sick leave accruals and wage statements. It claims that Consolidated Maintenance Solutions did not account for all hours worked when calculating sick leave entitlements and issued inaccurate wage statements lacking essential details like accurate rates of pay and gross earnings.
In response to these grievances, Doctolero seeks civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) for each violation cited in his complaint. He requests default penalties where specific civil penalties are not outlined by law, along with reasonable attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing this action.
Representing Doctolero are attorneys Galen T. Shimoda, Justin P. Rodriguez, and Renald Konini from Shimoda & Rodriguez Law, PC. The case is presided over by Judge B. Delira under Case ID: [not provided].
