Class certification ordered for security guard suit

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled yesterday to partially reverse an order denying class certification in an action against a company that employs security guards throughout Southern California. The suit alleges Boyd & Associates, Inc. failed to pay correct amounts of overtime. The panel ordered that a class be certified of employees whose overtime premium was allegedly calculated on the basis of an amount that was less than their actual rate of pay.

The court did agree with Orange Superior Court Judge Gail Andler?s onclusion that claims the company failed to provide meal and rest breaks cannot not be litigated on a class-wide basis because there are predominant individual issues.

The plaintiffs, Josie Faulkinbury and William Levene, brought their action on behalf of about 4,000 past and present employees of Boyd.
