Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA)
Under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act PAGA), private attorneys are authorized to represent aggrieved employees with the filing of lawsuits to recover heavy civil penalties on behalf of themselves, other employees, and the State of California for Labor Code violations.
- As part of the recovery settlement, the violating parties are required to pay for attorneys’ fees, removing this financial burden from the aggrieved employees.
- The statutory timeframe to file a claim under PAGA is one (1) year.
The process for filing a PAGA case has strict requirements, and can be extremely complicated (as specified in California Labor Codes). You cannot handle these complicated legal challenges on your own. What you do next will be critical to ensuring the successful outcome of your claim. You need a trusted and tenacious legal advocate on your side, to protect your legal rights, and to successfully guide you through the litigation process. It is imperative that you seek legal counsel from a proficient litigator who can help you understand your rights and legal options.
