The Preventive Playbook: Wage & Hour Compliance Strategies

  • When: Apr 22, 2026 09:30 am PDT - 11:30 am PDT

In spite of recent PAGA reforms, wage-and-hour lawsuits continue to plague California employers. Even highly conscientious organizations find themselves targeted for technical violations they never intended to commit. With California’s rapidly evolving wage‑and‑hour landscape—and steadily rising minimum wage, expanded enforcement authority, heightened premium‑pay obligations, and complex exemption rules—unintentional non‑compliance remains one of the most-costly risks employers face. Proactive compliance measures are now not only a best practice but a strategic defense tool for mitigating that risk.
