Free for all employers. In this one-hour webinar, CEA’s trusted legal partners Laura McHugh, and Christina Bucci Hamilton of Duggan McHugh Law Corporation, will cover key information on the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) lawsuits that California employers should know in order to minimize their liability. PAGA is a California statute enacted in 2004 which allows an “aggrieved employee” to pursue civil penalties for wage and hour violations on behalf of the California Attorney General against their current or former employers. Based on a 2021 report by the CABIA Foundation, the average amount employers pay for PAGA lawsuits in court is $1.1 million. Prudent employers will stay on top of PAGA to minimize their wage and hour liability and avoid paying costly settlements and court-awarded verdicts.
During this webinar, Ms. McHugh & Ms. Bucci Hamilton will cover:

•  What is PAGA?
•  PAGA versus class actions: what’s the difference?
•  Who are “aggrieved employees” for PAGA
•  What to do if you receive a PAGA letter
•  Curable PAGA offenses
•  Common PAGA pitfalls for employers
•  How the SCOTUS decision in Viking River Cruises, Inc. may affect future PAGA actions and arbitration agreements

Ms. McHugh has represented companies of all sizes in employment and labor law matters for over 25 years. She provides advice and counsel to employers, and defends employers in class and PAGA actions, as well as individual actions by employees. She has argued before the California Supreme Court and Third District Court of Appeal, obtaining precedential, published decisions. In 2018, she partnered with Jennifer Duggan to further the success of their women-owned Sacramento law firm.

Ms. Bucci Hamilton has been successfully representing employers in a variety of matters for the past nine years. She is well-versed in California and Federal employment laws and regularly counsels clients on wage and hour compliance, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII, and others; including review and drafting of compliant policies, handbooks, and employee communications; counsel regarding employee discipline and termination; responding to EEOC/DFEH charges, as well as performing prompt, thorough, and neutral workplace investigations. She is a seasoned employment law litigator, with significant experience handling wage and hour class and PAGA actions, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation claims.
