Representing Groups of Employees in Complex Workplace Disputes Across California and Nevada
When employment violations affect a group of workers—such as unpaid wages, misclassification, or systemic discrimination—a class action lawsuit can be the most powerful tool for justice. Class actions combine similar claims into one case, saving time and resources while giving employees greater strength in numbers.
At Best Employment Lawyer, we represent employees and defend employers in workplace class action lawsuits throughout California and Nevada. Our employment class action attorneys bring decades of experience handling wage and hour class actions, discrimination claims, and other group-based employment violations. We understand the complex procedures and high stakes involved in these cases and work strategically to deliver strong, cost-effective results.
What Is a Workplace Class Action?
A class action lawsuit allows one or more employees (the “class representatives”) to file a legal claim on behalf of a larger group (“the class”) with similar workplace grievances. These claims typically involve systemic violations of labor laws or employment rights that affect many workers in the same way.
Our class action lawyers have handled claims involving:
Unpaid overtime or minimum wage
Off-the-clock work or denied breaks
Unpaid bonuses, commissions, or expense reimbursements
Illegal tip pooling or service charge distributions
Misclassification as independent contractors
Discrimination or harassment affecting a protected group
Uniform or equipment deductions
Class actions help level the playing field when individual employees might otherwise lack the resources or leverage to take legal action alone.
Wage & Hour Class Action Lawyers
Wage and hour violations are among the most common causes of employment class actions. Employers often apply unlawful pay practices across departments or job classifications, making many workers eligible for relief.
Our wage and hour class action lawyers pursue claims involving:
Failure to pay overtime and double-time under California Labor Code § 510
Minimum wage violations under Cal. Lab. Code § 1197 or FLSA
Meal and rest break violations (Cal. Lab. Code § 226.7)
Off-the-clock work and misrecorded hours
Inaccurate or missing wage statements (Cal. Lab. Code § 226)
Waiting time penalties for delayed final pay (Cal. Lab. Code § 203)
We help workers recover back wages, penalties, interest, and attorney fees through class litigation — and ensure employers are held accountable.
Employee Class Action Legal Services
As experienced employee class action lawyers, we support clients from initial evaluation through final resolution. Our services include:
Investigating group-wide employment violations
Identifying suitable class representatives and defining the class scope
Preparing and filing class certification motions
Gathering evidence and conducting discovery
Settlement negotiation and approval processes
Representation in court, mediation, or arbitration
We also guide clients through Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims—California’s unique mechanism allowing workers to pursue civil penalties on behalf of the state.
Defending Employers in Class Action Lawsuits
We also represent employers facing class action lawsuits. These claims can expose companies to significant liability and reputational harm if not managed strategically.
Our labor class action attorneys provide:
Early risk assessments and potential exposure analysis
Defense against certification of the class
Review of wage policies, pay practices, and timekeeping systems
Settlement strategy and negotiations
Representation in litigation or appeals
We help businesses understand their obligations under federal and state labor laws and take proactive steps to reduce the risk of future claims.
Class Action vs. PAGA Claims: What’s the Difference?
While both class actions and PAGA claims involve group-wide workplace violations, there are key differences:
Class Actions seek compensation for damages suffered by the employees themselves.
PAGA Claims seek civil penalties on behalf of the state of California for Labor Code violations.
Class Actions require class certification and more stringent procedures.
PAGA Claims do not require class certification, making them easier to file.
In many cases, we pursue both simultaneously, giving clients multiple avenues for justice and recovery.
