Two former employees, Ismail Alammari and Jeremy D'Ambrosio, sued Ocean Cities Pizza and four related California franchise entities, alleging violations of California labor law — including failure to pay overtime and minimum wages, missed meal and rest periods, inaccurate wage statements, failure to reimburse business expenses, and late final paychecks.

Hourly, nonexempt employees who worked for Ocean Cities Pizza, Inc., Home County Pizza, Inc., Hishmeh Enterprises, Inc., Central Cities Pizza, Inc., or Team So-Cal, Inc. at any point between June 24, 2016 and November 29, 2023 were covered as class members. Employees who worked during the PAGA period (December 16, 2018 to November 29, 2023) were also eligible for a separate PAGA payment.

Payments were based on each employee's number of work weeks during the class period and number of pay periods during the PAGA period, according to the defendants' employment records. Employees who believed their records were incorrect could submit a written dispute before January 13, 2025.

No — participation was automatic. Employees who did nothing were included as participating class members and received whatever payment they were owed. The only deadline that required action was if you wanted to opt out of the class settlement or dispute your work-week count.
