Around the Clock Companies mailed a data breach notification letter to affected individuals after reporting the incident to the California Attorney General on March 19, 2025. If that letter reached you, your personal information was in the affected systems — and you may have legal options at no cost to you.
The California Attorney General filing confirms the breach notice — not a court case. This tracker shows settlement figures and deadlines solely where a public court record exists. Outcomes are never estimated or promised.
Per the California Attorney General filing, the Around the Clock Companies incident compromised these categories of personal information:
The more sensitive the data involved, the stronger the potential claim. Disclosure of these categories is legally recognized harm.
Around the Clock Companies operates as a 24-hour business process outsourcing, workforce management, and enterprise support organization, delivering around-the-clock administrative, human resources, payroll processing, and customer care solutions to a diverse portfolio of corporate clients. Because of the continuous, high-volume nature of their operations, Around the Clock Companies routinely collects, processes, and stores vast repositories of sensitive data. Their systems serve as a centralized hub for employee onboarding, timesheet tracking, benefits administration, and multi-state payroll distribution, meaning they maintain deep pools of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for both corporate clients and outsourced personnel.
In 2025, Around the Clock Companies formally reported a significant security incident to the California Attorney General's Office, alerting state regulators and affected individuals to an unauthorized breach of its enterprise network. While exact forensic details continue to be evaluated, breaches involving 24-hour workforce management and payroll intermediaries typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as unauthorized access to legacy databases, credential harvesting targeting remote administrative portals, or vulnerabilities within third-party vendor integration points. Given the round-the-clock operational footprint of such entities, threat actors often target continuous-shift environments where monitoring protocols may face coverage gaps, allowing malicious payloads to dwell within networks undetected before exfiltrating critical files.
The exposure resulting from this incident encompasses a dangerous aggregation of sensitive information, including full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, banking and direct deposit routing details, and comprehensive wage and compensation records. This specific combination of data creates severe, multi-layered risks for affected individuals. Social Security numbers and dates of birth serve as the master keys for identity thieves, enabling the opening of fraudulent credit lines, unauthorized loan applications, and government benefit fraud. Furthermore, compromised banking and direct deposit information directly threatens victims' immediate financial stability, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized withdrawals, payroll diversion schemes, and complex financial account takeovers that require months or years to resolve.
As an entity handling sensitive employee, financial, and corporate data, Around the Clock Companies was legally bound by stringent statutory obligations under California state law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California's foundational data security statutes, alongside applicable federal frameworks like the FTC Act. These regulations mandate the implementation of reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the personal information, designed to protect consumers and employees from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly indicates a potential failure of these foundational duties—whether through inadequate encryption standards, delayed patching schedules, deficient network segmentation, or lax access controls—raising serious questions about the adequacy of the company's cybersecurity infrastructure.
Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Around the Clock Companies is a formal legal admission that your private, sensitive information was compromised while in their custody. Under modern consumer protection jurisprudence, this notification establishes the necessary legal standing to pursue a class action lawsuit seeking accountability, restitution, and enhanced credit monitoring protections. Crucially, victims do not need to prove that financial fraud or identity theft has already occurred to participate in a legal claim; the increased, imminent risk of future harm resulting from the exposure of your data is legally sufficient. Our firm evaluates and litigates data breach cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay absolutely nothing out of pocket, and we only recover fees if we successfully secure a recovery on your behalf.
Notification Delay: Approximately over 1 year elapsed between the reported date of the security incident and the company's notification to the Attorney General. Courts have found that excessive notification delays independently support legal claims.
