SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The San Diego employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a lawsuit against Aerotek, Inc. alleging the company violated Labor Code § 2699, et seq. seeking penalties for DEFENDANT's alleged violation of California Labor Code §§ 201, 202, 203, 204, 210, 221, 226(a), 226.7, 351, 510, 512, 558(a)(1)(2), 1194, 1197, 1197.1, 1198, and 2802. The lawsuit against Renoir HM, LLC is currently pending in the San Diego County Superior Court, Case No. 37-2021-00048351-CU-OE-CTL. To read a copy of the Complaint, please click here.

California Labor Code § 226 provides that every employer shall provide employees with an accurate itemized wage statement in writing showing, among other things, gross wages earned. Defendant allegedly failed to provide wage statements that identified the correct gross and net wages earned. Specifically, wage statements allegedly failed to identify the accurate total hours worked each pay period and when the hours were added up, they did not equal the total hours worked during the pay period.

PAGA is a mechanism by which the State of California itself can enforce state labor laws through the employee suing under the PAGA who do so as the proxy or agent of the state's labor law enforcement agencies. An action to recover civil penalties under PAGA is fundamentally a law enforcement action designed to protect the public and not to benefit private parties. The purpose of PAGA is not to recover damages or restitution, but to create a means of "deputizing" citizens as private attorneys general to enforce the Labor Code.
