PAGA Defense
Private Attorneys General Act
A claim under California's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) can expose employers to significant financial penalties and complex litigation. Because PAGA allows employees to seek civil penalties on behalf of themselves, other employees, and the State of California, these claims can quickly become costly if not addressed promptly.
At Rosenstein & Associates, we represent California employers facing PAGA claims and provide strategic legal guidance throughout every stage of the process. Whether your business has received a PAGA notice or is already involved in litigation, our attorneys are committed to protecting your interests and developing effective defense strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
A PAGA notice should be taken seriously. Because there are important deadlines and strategic decisions that can affect your business, it's important to consult an experienced employment attorney as soon as possible. Call our office to schedule your free consultation: (951) 296-3888
No. While many PAGA claims involve wage and hour issues, such as unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, or wage statement violations, they may also arise from other alleged violations of the California Labor Code. Examples include employee misclassification, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses, inaccurate personnel records, failure to provide required notices, final paycheck violations, or other workplace compliance issues. Because PAGA covers a wide range of Labor Code provisions, it's important to consult an experienced attorney if your business receives a PAGA notice.
Every case is different, but many PAGA matters are resolved through negotiation or settlement. Our attorneys work with clients to pursue practical, cost-effective solutions whenever appropriate.
