A California corporation is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging numerous labor law violations, including unpaid wages and inadequate rest breaks. Shayne Huntley filed the complaint on October 22, 2025, in the Superior Court of California for the County of Sacramento against C-Store Services, Inc., accusing them of multiple breaches of the California Labor Code.
Shayne Huntley, representing himself and other similarly situated employees, claims that C-Store Services failed to compensate its hourly-paid or non-exempt employees properly. The lawsuit outlines several allegations against the company, including unpaid overtime as per California Labor Code §§ 510 and 1198, failure to provide meal and rest period premiums under §§ 226.7 and 512(a), and non-compliance with minimum wage requirements under §§ 1194, 1197, and 1197.1. “Defendants intentionally and willfully failed to pay overtime wages owed,” states the complaint, highlighting systemic issues within the company’s payroll practices.
The complaint also accuses C-Store Services of not paying final wages promptly upon employee termination as required by §§ 201 and 202 of the California Labor Code. Additionally, it alleges that regular wages were not paid timely during employment under § 204. Furthermore, Huntley argues that wage statements provided by the company were non-compliant with § 226(a), failing to include essential details such as total hours worked.
Huntley’s lawsuit further charges C-Store Services with neglecting to maintain requisite payroll records in violation of § 1174(d) and failing to reimburse business expenses as stipulated by §§ 2800 and 2802. The plaintiff asserts these practices amount to unfair business activities under California Business & Professions Code § 17200 et seq., seeking restitution for lost wages due to these alleged violations.
In pursuit of justice for himself and his fellow employees, Huntley seeks class certification for all current and former hourly-paid or non-exempt employees who worked for C-Store Services in California over the past four years. The relief sought includes unpaid wages at appropriate rates with interest, statutory penalties for labor code violations, injunctive relief ensuring compliance with wage statement requirements, reimbursement for unreimbursed expenses plus interest, attorney fees, costs incurred during litigation, liquidated damages where applicable, and any additional relief deemed just by the court.

The presiding judge has yet to be named as proceedings begin under Case No.: Bey OSS S15.
