PAGA allows your employees to serve as a proxy for the State of California, bypass arbitration and other clauses in the employment contract and pursue civil (read: financial) penalties for a variety of “offenses” including but not limited to wage and hour violations, health and safety violations, the misclassification of employees, even unfair competition actions.
