When an employer violates California labor laws, the impact often extends far beyond one employee. Many companies engage in systemic wage theft, misclassification, illegal break policies, or unlawful workplace practices affecting dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of workers. In these situations, employees may be able to pursue justice through a Class Action Lawsuit or a PAGA (Private Attorneys General Act) claim.
At Taban Law Firm, we represent workers statewide in powerful collective actions designed to hold employers fully accountable and recover maximum compensation for all affected employees.
A class action is a lawsuit filed on behalf of a large group of employees who experienced the same or similar violations. Instead of filing individual claims, workers can unite to challenge an employer’s unlawful conduct collectively.
Class actions are commonly used when employers:
Class actions can force powerful companies to answer for widespread misconduct and secure substantial compensation for every impacted employee.
Under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), employees can file claims on behalf of themselves, other workers, and the State of California for labor code violations.
PAGA allows employees to act as private attorneys general, seeking:
Civil penalties for each labor code violation
Additional penalties for ongoing or willful violations
Remedies for groups of employees even when class certification is not possible
Because PAGA penalties can accumulate per employee, per pay period, they can quickly grow into large, high value claims, creating strong accountability for employers who repeatedly break the law.
You may have a class action or PAGA case if your employer has engaged in:
If multiple employees report the same practices, collective action is often the most effective way to achieve justice.
Our firm investigates workplace practices to determine whether class action or PAGA litigation is appropriate.
We assist employees by:
We fight to ensure the employer is held fully accountable, not just for one violation, but for every employee affected by their unlawful conduct.
Strength in numbers
Consistent results for the entire workforce
Ability to pursue violations that individual claims might miss
Shared legal resources and reduced risk
Facing collective action increases pressure to settle fairly and change unlawful policies, thereby protecting future workers.
Depending on the case, employees may be entitled to:
Some PAGA penalties can reach thousands or millions of dollars depending on the size of the workforce and the duration of violations.
Labor Code §§ 2698–2699.5 – PAGA regulations
California Labor Code (various sections) – Wage, hour, and classification laws
IWC Wage Orders – Breaks, wages, and workplace requirements
These laws form the backbone of large-scale employee rights litigation in California.
