Smokemart Class Action
Adero Law is investigating potential employee rights violations at Smokemart & GiftBox (SMGB) stores and may pursue a class action to recover unpaid entitlements for affected employees.
Class Action Coverage
Smokemart & GiftBox (SMGB), a company specializing in tobacco products and gifting with 475 stores nationwide, may have engaged in practices affecting employee rights. Adero Law has become aware that certain practices may have occurred at some SMGB stores, including:
- Directing staff not to take meal breaks and/or toilet breaks during periods of extended shifts
- Directing staff to work pre-shift and post-shift hours without compensation
If these practices have occurred across SMGB stores, Adero Law may pursue a class action against SMGB and seek compensation for any employee whose entitlements were not paid in full.
