An employee who brought claims under the California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) adequately notified the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) and her former employer about ongoing violations of wage and hour laws that affected multiple workers, a California appeals court held. The plaintiff failed to use the words “other aggrieved employees” in the letter she sent to the agency and to the employer, but she provided fair notice of her representative claims. Thus, the lower court erred in dismissing the PAGA claims before trial, the appeals court ruled.
