Staff who worked for reality TV star Kim Kardashian West in a new lawsuit have claimed that the star failed to pay overtime, cover expenses and provide legally mandated breaks for cleaning and maintaining her California home. The seven plaintiffs didn’t mention the figure they were seeking other than to say "the matter in controversy, exclusive of interest, exceeds $25,000" according to the civil action filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in relation to work at the reality TV star's home in Hidden Hills, an exclusive gated community in the Santa Monica Mountains and far western edge of Los Angeles County.

They further accused Kardashian of withholding 10 percent of their pay for taxes while in reality not reporting their employment to the tax authorities. Los Angeles attorney Frank Kim, who filed the lawsuit, was quoted as saying, "Plaintiffs never received any paystubs, were not paid on regular pay periods, were not given their required meal and rest breaks, were not provided a means to record all their hours, were not paid all their hours, were not reimbursed for employment expenses, were not paid all their overtime wages, and were not paid their wages upon termination of employment."

Kim’s representative said that the plaintiffs work for a vendor employed by the star and ergo, she can't be held responsible as a third party. The name of the vendor wasn’t disclosed, though.

A statement from the representative read, "These workers were hired and paid through a third-party vendor hired by Kim to provide ongoing services. Kim is not party to the agreement made between the vendor and their workers, therefore she is not responsible for how the vendor manages their business and the agreements they have made directly with their staff. Kim has never not paid a vendor for their services and hopes that the issue between these workers and the vendor who hired them can be amicably resolved soon."
