The Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes has settled a lawsuit filed by workers who demanded pay for time they spent waiting to get uniforms before each shift and being driven from a remote parking lot.
Visitors enter the main entrance to the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. The resort has settled a class-action lawsuit filed by workers over pay.
In addition, an attorney for the workers said in a statement that the lawsuit “has already resulted in Terranea making significant changes to its unlawful wage-and-hour policies that benefit employees.” In court documents, Lauren Teukolsky, the attorney for the resort workers, called the proposed settlement “a fair, adequate and reasonable one.”The lawsuit was filed by three workers but, as part of the settlement, Terranea agreed that it met the requirements to be considered a class-action lawsuit, representing about 400 hourly employees.
In court documents, Teukolsky said that the California Supreme Court has previously decided that it is reasonable for lawyers to request up to a third of the plaintiff’s settlement award — which is how much lawyers in the Terranea lawsuit requested.that represents hotel workers — a feud that has pulled in resort guests and even some engaged couples who planned to hold wedding events at the ritzy resort.
