PAGA continues to gain in popularity and complexity. Plaintiffs pursue PAGA claims both in tandem with wage-and-hour class actions and independently, with many employers facing overlapping PAGA claims from different employees. Defense counsel and employers seek ways to stop the claims in their tracks. Meanwhile, courts consider issues of arbitrability, right to jury trials, settlement approval, and intervention in PAGA settlements.
Our speakers, George Abele and Chris Jalian of Paul Hastings, highlight the current disputes and explain the practical impacts on employers, employees, and litigants today. They will provide an advanced look at the statutory history and requirements and issues that regularly arise in litigation.
The program will also focus on the Supreme Court?s hearing of Viking River Cruises, which may determine whether PAGA claims are subject to binding bilateral arbitration, recent legislative challenges to PAGA and how courts are managing competing and overlapping PAGA claims. This program is a must for any litigator or mediator and particularly for those who handle employment claims.
