LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A former shipping clerk at a Long Beach pharmacy settled her lawsuit against the store in which she alleged she was wrongfully fired in 2020 in part for complaining about not getting fully paid for a leave she took after getting a fever during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
Jennifer Smith s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against Benzer Pharmacy alleged whistleblower retaliation, wrongful termination, retaliation and failure to provide required rest breaks. She sought unspecified damages in the suit filed last July 15.
Smith s attorney, Aubry Wand, filed court papers Feb. 5 stating that the case was resolved. No terms were divulged.
