What is PAGA?

The Private Attorneys General Act, or PAGA, is a unique California statute that allows employees to step into the shoes of the state labor enforcement agencies to file lawsuits against employers for labor law violations. PAGA serves as a powerful tool for employees to address workplace violations and seek penalties on behalf of themselves, their fellow employees, and the State of California.

What is the process for filing a PAGA claim?

The process typically involves filing a written notice with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) outlining the alleged violations at least 65 days before filing a lawsuit.
