Delve deep into the challenging and rapidly changing landscape of wage and hour litigation at our exclusive California Wage & Hour Litigation Conference. This comprehensive, half day online symposium is tailor-made for legal practitioners, in house counsel and those professionals keen on staying abreast of evolving labor laws and litigation trends in California.

 
The program will include a Wage & Hour "State of the Nation", a discussion about PAGA, and a thoughtful discussion about settling Wage & Hour and PAGA cases.

This 90-minute seminar aims to equip attorneys with practical knowledge and effective strategies for getting insurance claims paid promptly and efficiently. This seminar will tackle the insurance claims process, whether and when to give notice of a claim, strategies on what to do in presenting the claim to the insurance company, strategies on what to do when a reservation of rights letter comes, and strategies on what to do when the insurer denies the claim.  Attendees will walk away with a robust understanding of the insurance claim landscape and the tools to navigate effectively through this often complex area.

You are Plaintiff or Defense counsel in a wage and hour class action case with a PAGA claim.  You have agreed to attend private mediation.  You have thousands if not hundreds of thousands of rows of time punch data, payroll data and a class list.  Does this describe your case?  Then, this webinar is for you.

Building on the foundation established in our first webinar and brought back by popular demand, this second session dives deeper into the intricacies of calculating wage and hour damages, PAGA penalties, and exposure in the context of mediation and settlement. Our panel of experts, including defense and plaintiff's counsel, as well as a wage and hour damages economist expert, will explore advanced strategies and techniques for calculating exposure, valuing a case for settlement, and successfully settling your case.
 
In this second round, we will discuss additional topics such as PAGA penalty calculations, the impact of recent wage and hour legal developments on damages calculations, strategies for cases that won't settle, and strategies for cases that are close to settling. This advanced knowledge will equip legal professionals with the tools necessary to more effectively navigate the complexities of wage and hour damages and penalties calculations and ultimately improve the chances of reaching a successful resolution.

Calculating wage and hour damages, PAGA penalties and exposure is a challenging endeavor. In this webinar, you will hear the viewpoints from three panelists regarding making wage and hour damages calculations, exposure estimates and valuing a case with an emphasis on mediation.  In particular, the program will cover PAGA penalties, meal and rest break violations, regular rate calculations, off-the-clock work, rounding, derivative penalties, preparing exposure models for mediation, class action settlement strategies, and valuing a case for settlement. These issues will be discussed from both the defense and plaintiff’s counsel’s perspective, as well as from the perspective of a wage and hour damages economist expert.  Understanding the basis of damages and exposure calculations and the differences when preparing calculations for mediation can make the difference between a successful mediation or prolonged litigation.
