Greetings ADOMA and Friends of ADOMA,

Aloha,
Wow, the first quarter of 2021 is in the books. Where does the time go? As a little girl I always wished things would get here fast, school to be over, my birthday to be here and of course that it was Christmas! Now I wish time would slow down. As we are starting to get back to a little normal again, I am asking myself, what has this past year taught me? I would have to say how much I missed people and just getting out. As shy as I am, “yes, you read that correctly” I am very shy and like to stand in the background and watch things happen. Well, this past

An easy way to cut your PAGA exposure in half
(Published on Tues, 04/13/2021 - 12:38am)

We previously reported on how to limit your liability in PAGA cases with meal break waivers.

In the wake of AB1513, which requires piece-rate employees to be separately compensated for rest, recovery, and nonproductive time, many dealers and other employers moved to weekly pay periods to more easily account for overtime, rest breaks, and the like at the correct rates. While this change is the right move from a compliance standpoint, in the event any wage and hour violations nevertheless accrue, it results in much higher penalties under PAGA – the Private Attorney General Act – which counts penalties every pay period in which a violation occurs.
