Developments during the COVID-19 pandemic have left a dark cloud of uncertainty for employers in the Golden State, and have led to many new claims under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). This webinar will cover how these developments impact business operations and litigation strategies for California employers as they navigate the rocky PAGA terrain.

CDF’s Partners Corey Cabral, Chair of the firm’s PAGA Litigation Practice Group, and Amy Williams, an experienced PAGA litigator, will discuss how pandemic-related business decisions and new California court opinions have created new PAGA claims and introduced new variables in PAGA litigation.

In particular, the presenters will offer insights on:

- Frequent sources of PAGA lawsuits.
- Liability that may arise from work-from-home arrangements, new compensation/bonus plans, staffing issues, and workplace safety requirements.
- Regular rate, wage statement, meal/rest period premium, and timekeeping requirements addressed in recently published opinions.
- Developing PAGA litigation strategies regarding the plaintiff’s standing, jurisdiction and venue.

This information will assist corporate counsel, California business owners and HR professionals in identifying and addressing potential risks related to these developments, and in implementing strategies for effectively mitigating potential liability.
