Savea v. YRC Inc.

Savea has been a YRC employee since 1998. YRC employees received wage statements that listed the employer name as YRC Freight and the employer address as 10990 Roe Avenue, Overland Park, KS 66211. In 2016, Savea filed an online notice with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency alleging YRC’s wage statements violated Labor Code 226(a)(8). In 2017, Savea sued, alleging YRC’s wage statements “do not accurately show the name of the legal entity that is the employer” and “fail to completely and accurately show the employer’s address,” because the entity registered with the California Secretary of State was YRC Inc. and “its complete address” included a mail stop code and a ZIP+4 Code: “10990 Roe Ave. MS A515, Overland Park, KS 66211-1213.” YRC explained that YRC Freight is the registered fictitious business name that YRC uses in California and that the listed address is YRC’s correct mailing address and that its wage statements comply with the template provided by the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE). The court of appeal affirmed judgment in favor of YRC. The trial court did not err in considering DLSE templates or Sacramento County documents concerning the renewal of YRC’s fictitious name registration. View "Savea v. YRC Inc." on Justia Law
