Security guards who worked 24-hour weekend shifts were not entitled to compensation for eight hours of sleep time, the California Court of Appeal has ruled. Mendiola v. CPS Security Solutions, Inc., No. B240519 (Cal. Ct. App. July 3, 2013). Reversing a preliminary injunction ordering the employer to compensate its guards for all nightly on-call time, the Court found that excluding eight hours of sleeping time during weekend shifts from the guards’ compensation was proper under California law. However, the Court found the guards’ weekday nightly on-call hours were compensable.
