On February 19th, Ryan Abernethy, Meagan Bainbridge, and Jacqueline Simonovich hosted an interactive seminar discussing the opportunities and pitfalls of California’s PAGA reforms. After a brief overview of the new regulations and protective measures all California employers can take immediately, they guided attendees through an interactive, step-by-step simulated response to a PAGA Notice, including the investigation that employers should undertake, the strict remedial deadlines that must be observed, and the opportunities to cure.

Topics of discussion included:

  1. What the recent PAGA reforms are and how they incentivize proactive wage and hour compliance
  2. Using self/audits and other proactive measures to ensure compliance and promptly cure violations
  3. The keys to a useful (and privileged!) wage and hour compliance audit
  4. A brief overview of common wage and hour compliance issues
