The amended PAGA rules impose stricter standing requirements for private attorneys representing plaintiffs, limiting claims to labor code violations personally experienced by the employee.
Under the new guidelines, 65% of penalties recovered for PAGA claims will go to the state and 35% to the aggrieved employees, differing from prior distributions.
The new PAGA amendments allow employers to take corrective actions to address violations within a specific timeframe, potentially reducing the penalties imposed.
Non-profit legal entities representing plaintiffs remain unaffected by the stricter standing rules, retaining the ability to pursue wider claims on behalf of employees.
