Ulloa v. Securitas Security Services USA, Inc.
What Happened
An employee filed a lawsuit against Securitas Security Services claiming the company failed to pay wages properly. The worker sought to turn this into a class action lawsuit, meaning other employees could join and claim similar wage problems. To build their case, the employee asked the court to force the company to hand over employee contact information and payroll records.
What the Court Decided
The court sided with the employee. It ordered Securitas to provide contact information for other workers who might have experienced the same wage issues and to share payroll and timekeeping records. The company must provide at least 20% of the requested documents, with a legal agreement protecting this information's privacy. If the lawsuit grows into a full class action, the court may require even more records to be shared.
Why This Matters for Workers
This ruling helps employees pursue wage theft claims together. By forcing employers to disclose contact lists and payment records early in the process, workers have better chances of proving wage violations and holding companies accountable—even before a case goes to trial.
