Summary
The Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA) authorizes an aggrieved employee, as defined, to bring a civil action on behalf of that employee, and other current or former employees against whom a violation of the same provision of the Labor Code was committed, to enforce a violation of any provision of the Labor Code that provides for a civil penalty to be assessed and collected by the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, as specified, pursuant to certain notice and cure provisions, as prescribed. PAGA exempts, until January 1, 2028, from its provisions an employee in the construction industry with respect to work performed under a valid collective bargaining agreement in effect any time before January 1, 2025, that expressly provides for the wages, hours of work, and working conditions of employees, premium wage rates for all overtime hours worked, and for the employee to receive a regular hourly pay rate of not less than 30% more than the state minimum wage rate, and does certain things, including prohibits all of the violations of the Labor Code that would be redressable pursuant to PAGA and provides for a grievance and binding arbitration procedure to redress those violations. This bill would delete the January 1, 2025, date described above and would extend the sunset of the exemption described above until January 1, 2038.
