It is more important now than ever for California employers to review their wage and hour compliance and arbitration agreements.
On August 3, The Recorder published the article “California Supreme Court Allows Individuals Standing to Pursue Non-Individual Claims in Court,” written by Mitzel Group attorneys Krista Mitzel and Ronak Patel.
In the article, the two break down the California Supreme Court’s long-awaited decision in the Adolph v. Uber Technologies case, in which the court ruled that individuals who bring claims under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) composed of individual and non-individual claims can arbitrate their individual claims if compelled to do so, but still have standing to litigate non-individual claims on behalf of other employees in court.
To read more about the case background and the new precedent it sets, its impacts on employers, and what steps to take as the PAGA fight continues, check out their article, in The Recorder (subscription required).
