About Oberheiden P.c.

Though PAGA lawsuits can pose significant liability risks, employers can minimize unwarranted exposure by prioritizing a strong defense. The right strategy will vary by case, but a proactive approach is always key to a favorable outcome. California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) poses substantial risks for employers. Under PAGA, any current or former employee can file a lawsuit in state court alleging violations of California’s Labor Code; and, if a PAGA lawsuit is successful, the employer can be held liable for substantial civil monetary penalties owed to the State of California.
