No-cost, free MCLE event

1 hour participatory California MCLE credit

Program Description

California’s Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 was amended in July 2024. The PAGA allows an employee to bring a lawsuit against their employer for civil penalties, in other words, to act as a private attorney general. It is thus an important tool that encourages enforcement of California labor laws. This webinar will cover the changes that were made in 2024 and how to be prepared for the new requirements. This webinar is intended as an introduction to how to bring PAGA claims in 2025, including how recent case law affects PAGA litigation.
