On June 16, 2022, the Superior Court for the County of San Francisco granted final approval of a $1.85 million, non-reversionary class action settlement in Jensen v. California Physicians’ Service d/b/a Blue Shield of California (“Blue Shield”).
Plaintiffs Lance Jensen and Nicholas Armstrong alleged in this class and PAGA action that Blue Shield misclassified certain of its IT employees as exempt employees and that, as a result, Blue Shield failed to pay overtime, failed to provide legally required meal and rest breaks, failed to pay all wages owed at discharge, and failed to provide accurate wage statements, in violation of various provisions of the California Labor Code and PAGA.
