The litigation, brought by the law firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, centers on allegations that the medical product manufacturer ignored California Labor Code requirements. According to the complaint, Case No. 26CU041886C, employees were forced to cover professional expenses out-of-pocket, particularly regarding mobile device usage, despite state mandates requiring employers to indemnify staff for costs incurred within the scope of their work.

Cardinal Health Faces Class Action Over Unpaid Business Expenses
A new class action lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court accuses Cardinal Health 414, LLC of systematic labor violations, ranging from unpaid overtime to the failure to reimburse staff for mandatory business costs, including the personal use of cellular phones required for daily operations.
Beyond expense reimbursement issues, the lawsuit asserts a broader pattern of non-compliance. The plaintiffs allege the company failed to provide required meal and rest periods, neglected to pay accurate minimum and overtime wages, and issued flawed itemized wage statements. The firm claims these actions violate multiple sections of the California Labor Code, including sections 201-203, 226, 510, and 2802, exposing the defendant to significant civil penalties.
