Unfair business practices comes in many shapes and forms. In the employment context, this issue commonly arises in the context of unfair competition claims and labor code violations that affects a large group of employees. Labor code violations typically include claims of overtime violations, unpaid wages and meal & rest period violations. In such cases, a lawsuit may be filed by one affected employee on behalf of all other similarly situated employees, past and present, within the preceding four years who were or continue to be likewise affected by the alleged violations. In such cases, restitution of monies owed, including interest, penalties and attorney's fees, may be sought on behalf of the entire representative class in one lawsuit.
