Existing law, the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, allows aggrieved employees to bring civil actions to recover penalties for violations of the Labor Code if the Labor and Workforce Development Agency or its departments, divisions, commissions, boards, agencies, or employees do not do so. The penalties collected in these actions are distributed 75% to the agency to be continuously appropriated for purposes of enforcement and education and 25% to the aggrieved employee, except that if the person does not employ one or more persons, 100% of the penalties are distributed to the agency by continuous appropriation. This bill would require an employee requesting court approval of the settlement of a civil action brought under the act to serve a copy of the court's final approval order and settlement agreement to the agency within 20 days after the order is made and the settlement is final. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
