Wage and Hour Risks and Liability Traps

July 23, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (PDT)

Description

SBCA, in Partnership with Price, Postel & Parma LLP, Presents:

Wage & Hour Challenges: How to Avoid a PAGA Claim

California's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) has dramatically increased employers' exposure to costly wage and hour claims. What may seem like a minor payroll oversight, missed meal break, or recordkeeping error can quickly escalate into significant penalties, class-action litigation, and expensive legal disputes.

Join Melissa J. Fassett, Senior Employment Attorney with Price, Postel & Parma LLP, for an informative seminar designed to help contractors and business owners understand their obligations, identify common compliance pitfalls, and reduce their risk of facing a PAGA claim.

Learn How to Protect Your Business From Common Wage & Hour Violations

Topics Include:

Labor Code Violations Frequently Covered by PAGA

  • Minimum Wage
  • Overtime
  • Meal and Rest Breaks
  • Expense Reimbursement
  • Paid Sick Leave
  • Wage Statements and Payroll Compliance

Building a Strong Compliance Program

  • Maintaining accurate and employee-verified time records
  • Implementing compliant workplace policies
  • Obtaining employee acknowledgments
  • Managing paid sick leave requirements
  • Responding appropriately to employee complaints
  • Conducting internal audits to identify potential issues before they become claims

What to Do If You Receive a Claim

  • Personnel file requirements
  • Payroll record retention requirements
  • Responding to legal complaints
  • Understanding the PAGA process
  • Working with counsel to mitigate liability


Why Attend?

Many PAGA and class-action lawsuits originate from routine workplace practices that employers may not realize create liability, including:

  • Off-the-clock work and after-hours communications
  • Travel time and jobsite reporting issues
  • Meal and rest break tracking errors
  • Wage statement omissions and formatting mistakes
  • Inadequate recordkeeping and policy documentation

This seminar will provide practical guidance to help you strengthen your compliance efforts and avoid costly mistakes.
