What Constitutes a PAGA Action or other Employer-Related Class Action Lawsuit?
PAGA actions and class action lawsuits require the certification of a group of people who have experienced similar issues and similar losses. The idea is simple: instead of having dozens, hundreds or thousands of individual cases and trials you combine them all into one “class” and have one central case for the courts to handle. From a business perspective the potential for financial damages is in many cases a risk to the life of the business itself.
Proven PAGA Employer Class Action Defense Attorneys
Why do you need the proven PAGA employer class action defense attorneys at the Watkins Firm? The California Private Attorneys General Act or PAGA has created additional headaches for San Diego companies. The State of California allows employees to band together and act on behalf of the Attorney General to explore many possible expensive employment violations.
The PAGA action provides extensive power to the plaintiff to seek information regarding other current and former employees (in an effort to expand the class) while requiring you, the employer, to post substantial notice in your own workplace regarding the dispute at hand and the rights of your own employees and those they might know who used to work for you to join in the class action.

An Aggressive PAGA Employer Class Action Defense
The experienced, aggressive PAGA employer class action defense lawyers at the Watkins Firm have several points of attack as we work to protect our clients in employee-related disputes, PAGA actions and/or to prevent the certification of the class.
The “representative cases” which lead the class are supposed to be a lot like any other case in the class. Often we are able to show the representative cases themselves are quite different from others in the class, defeating the certification of the class.
In many cases such as wage and hour and employment law cases, food & supplement cases, “Made in the USA” or organic claims lawsuits our attorneys are able to reveal the flaws in the plaintiff’s damage models or damages calculations. Our work prevents the type of “fishing expeditions” and prolonged discovery which adds unnecessary cost and additional risk for our clients.
