The above-named action, Zachery Poltor v. AV Squad, LP, et al., Case Number 21STCV43467, is pending in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles (the “Action”). The Action alleges that AV Squad engaged in practices that resulted in certain non-exempt employees being deprived of the opportunity to take off-duty meal and rest breaks, that AV Squad failed to provide compliant wage statements, and that AV Squad failed to timely pay all wages owed upon separation of employment. AV Squad denies that they have violated these laws and contests that they have violated any law. AV Squad maintains it has complied with California labor laws at all times and believes Plaintiff’s claims are without merit. The Court has not rendered any opinion as to the merits of this case.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court has granted certification of the following classes and subclass: (1) Wage Statement Class, (2) Meal Period Class, (3) Rest Period Class, and (4) Waiting Time Penalties Subclass (collectively, the “Classes”). These Classes are defined in Section 6 of this notice. You are receiving this Notice of Pendency of Class Action (“Notice”) because AV Squad’s records show that you currently work, or previously worked, for AV Squad as a non-exempt, hourly-paid employee within one or more of the defined Classes at some point during the Class Period and did not sign a Settlement Agreement releasing these claims. The Action seeks damages, restitution, injunctive relief, and civil penalties for AV Squad’s alleged unlawful conduct.
The Court has made no ruling on the merits of Plaintiff’s claims. There is no money available now and there is no guarantee that there will be money available for distribution to the Classes. There has been no determination of liability at this stage, and there has been no determination at this stage as to whether AV Squad has violated any law. However, your legal rights will be affected, and you will have to decide whether you want to stay in the lawsuit as a class member or exclude yourself from the lawsuit.
Should you wish to opt-out of participating in the present lawsuit against AV Squad, you must exclude yourself from the Class by either returning the pre-paid postcard, that was included with the Notice you may have received, by U.S. mail or online through this website here. Otherwise, by doing nothing, you agree to be part of the class action against AV Squad.
