ADVERTISEMENTS

Former employees of Aurora Las Encinas Hospital, a private psychiatric facility in Pasadena, filed a class-action lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court yesterday alleging that chronic understaffing has forced the staff to work past the ends of their shifts, with no overtime pay, and is compromising patient care.

The former workers are seeking an injunction to stop the alleged violations as well as unspecified restitution, legal fees and other penalties under California's labor code.

The suit also alleges unsanitary conditions in the facility bathrooms as well as substandard medical equipment.
