California labor law is both complex and constantly changing – to put it mildly. Companies operating in California face a deluge of class action lawsuits alleging violations of California statutes regarding classification as exempt, overtime, meal breaks, rest breaks, wage statement penalties, waiting time penalties and interest. PAGA claims have proliferated.
Wage and hour class action engagements are data intensive. We assist employers by using advanced computer database techniques to assemble and analyze employee time and payroll data, which often are not in machine-readable format and must be translated. Alternatively, we prepare estimates of employee hours worked and compensation based on available data. To calculate a company’s potential liability to each individual class member’s data, we apply formulas that reflect current California labor law. Often, we calculate a company’s potential liability under alternative scenarios regarding daily hours worked and weekly work schedules.
