THE UNIQUE THREAT OF PAGA &
CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS

In California, a single compliance error can trigger a massive lawsuit. Understanding the specific threats is the first step in building a strong defense.

PAGA "Sue for All" Power

A single employee can sue on behalf of all current and former employees, turning one complaint into a company-wide crisis.

No Certification Needed for PAGA

Unlike class actions, PAGA claims don't need a judge's approval to proceed, making them easier and faster for plaintiffs' attorneys to file.

Massive PAGA Penalties

PAGA focuses on recovering steep civil penalties per employee, per pay period, which can quickly reach catastrophic levels.

Systemic Class Action Claims

Class actions are typically filed over systemic issues like meal break or overtime policies that affect your entire workforce.

High Bar for Class Certification

A judge must certify that all employees have enough in common to sue together, providing a critical early opportunity for a strong defense.

"All or Nothing" Financial Risk

The potential damages in a certified class action can be immense, creating significant pressure to settle even if the claims are weak.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

What is the difference between a class action and a PAGA lawsuit?

A class action requires a judge to certify that a group of employees have enough in common to sue together. A PAGA claim does not require class certification, allowing a single employee to sue for penalties on behalf of all other employees, making it a more potent weapon for plaintiffs' attorneys.

 
Can we use our arbitration agreement to avoid a PAGA claim?

It's complicated. While the U.S. Supreme Court's *Viking River Cruises* decision allows for individual PAGA claims to be sent to arbitration, the employee may still be able to pursue representative PAGA claims in court. This is a rapidly evolving area of law that requires expert legal analysis.

 
How can we reduce our risk of a class action lawsuit?

The most effective way is to conduct regular, privileged compliance audits with experienced legal counsel. Focusing on high-risk areas like meal and rest break policies, timekeeping accuracy, and proper employee classification can significantly reduce your vulnerability. Contact us to schedule a confidential audit.
