According to the lawsuit filed, Children’s Hospital of Orange County allegedly required employees to use their own personal cellular phones as a result of and in furtherance of their job duties as employees for Defendant.

The Complaint further alleges that Children’s Hospital of Orange County failed to provide employees with complete and accurate wage statements which failed to show, among other things, the correct gross and net wages earned. California Labor Code Section 226 expressly states “wages” consist of “all amounts for labor performed by employees of every description, whether the amount is fixed or ascertained by the standard of time, task, piece, commission basis, or other method of calculation.
