Ogletree Deakins: California PAGA Amendments Expand Labor Officials' Involvement in PAGA Claims | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. addresses a number of recent amendments to California's Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). These amendments were included in SB 836, recently passed as part of Governor Jerry Brown's budget. The changes give the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) more time to investigate and issue citations for Labor Code violations, increased oversight over PAGA actions, an opportunity to object to proposed PAGA settlements, and more funds to investigate and issue citations for Labor Code violations.
