Class-action filings in Oregon, particularly those concerning wage-and-hour laws, appear to be at an all-time high.
A company that violates a pay regulation to the tune of $100 per employee might prompt that employee to take legal action on behalf of all affected employees. The potential cost of damages with penalties can add up quickly.
A plaintiff could argue for damages as follows:
- $100 pay violation
- Assume 40 employees affected (20 current and 20 former)
- Statutory penalty of $2,880
- 1 statutory penalty for current employees = $57,600
- 2 statutory penalties for former employees = $115,200
- Total: $175,780
From the convenience of your desk, Miller Nash attorney panelists will help you:
- Assess if your company is at risk for a class-action lawsuit
- Develop a strategy to mitigate your risk
- Identify compliance areas most likely to create a risk for your company
This session addresses the increase in class action lawsuit filings and other business-critical topics, including agreements to arbitrate claims and class actions, and important Oregon wage-and-hour laws.
