In the Wage & Hour world, Jack in the Box is facing an employment class action for allegedly misclassifying store managers as salaried and denied store managers meal, rest breaks, and overtime pay.  Jack in the Box also allegedly failed to provide accurate wage statements.

In order to stand up for his employment rights and recover his wages owed to him, Plaintiff Kartik Patel, brought the new lawsuit against Jack in the Box in USDC Southern District of California.
