The philanthropic organization founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his pediatrician wife Priscilla Chan has been hit with a lawsuit by a man claiming to be a former contractor denied breaks and overtime then fired for complaining.
Abdi Habad said in his suit that he started at the Palo Alto-based organization as a receptionist in May 2016. He was not given rest periods or uninterrupted 30-minute meal breaks, and did not receive premium pay for overtime worked, he alleged. The organization also “intentionally” failed to provide him on paydays with the legally required itemized record of wages earned and hours worked, Habad claimed in the suit filed Wednesday in San Francisco County Superior Court.
Although he was employed by a security company for his work at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the latter controlled his “wages, hours or working conditions,” the lawsuit claims.
A Chan Zuckerberg Initiative spokesperson said Friday that the organization complies with all laws, including employment laws.
“We’ve been made aware today of the lawsuit involving an employee of one of our former vendors — and are currently reviewing the matter,” the spokesperson said.
The organization says it focuses on biomedical research, science education, affordable housing and criminal justice reform.

When Chan and Zuckerberg founded their initiative in 2015, Zuckerberg said he and Chan would over their lifetimes give 99 percent of their Facebook shares — worth more than $45 billion at the time — to the organization, according to the New York Times.
Abdi alleged that he was fired Feb. 28 for complaining about the employment issues, and he claimed in the suit that he wasn’t paid owed wages after his termination. He is seeking unspecified damages.

Despite the turmoil that Facebook has faced over this past year after the Cambridge Analytica scandal — Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has grown tremendously and he is expected to replace Warren Buffet as the world’s third richest person, NBC reported.
Although Facebook’s stocks initially dropped 18% after its highly-publicized exploitation and mishandling of data, its stocks have recently soared due to Zuckerberg’s new long-form video initiative on Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, and after it announced that Instagram has surpassed over 1 billion monthly users.
Mark Zuckerberg is 34 years old, which makes him the youngest of the ten richest people in the world.
Despite being multiple decades younger than Warren Buffet, Zuckerberg’s net worth now amounts to $81.6 billion, which is equivalent to Buffet’s net worth according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index.
The narrow gap between their fortunes stems from both Facebook’s rising success and the massive funds that Buffet has personally donated to charity.
