Kronick offers highly experienced employment and commercial class action counsel to our public agency and private employer clients. Our team employs creative and informed strategies to limit the ongoing business impact and avert future claims. Our class action work includes wage/hour, discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, whistle-blowing and wrongful termination. Our attorneys are also well qualified and experienced in handling California Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) matters. Passed in 2004, PAGA allows both current and former employees to sue their employers for California Labor Code violations.
PAGA filings are not required to meet the same requirements as class action lawsuits. Recent case law may make PAGA claims amenable to binding arbitration, a subject on which Kronick lawyers are well versed and can advise clients. Financial exposure to PAGA civil penalties is often steep and can prove particularly burdensome to small businesses. Kronick routinely provides expert advice to help our clients prepare, prevent, and navigate PAGA exposure and defense.
