Stop Wage & Hour Lawsuits Before They Start

FAQs

How long does training take?

Most courses take 30-45 minutes and are available on any internet-connected device.

Does this replace legal counsel?

No — Cal Comply supports your existing legal counsel by delivering the training, certification, and documentation they need to defend you.

How quickly can we roll this out?

Most companies launch within a few days.

Can this really reduce penalties under PAGA?

Yes. Documented good-faith compliance efforts can reduce PAGA penalties by up to 85%.

Can Cal Comply help if we are already facing a lawsuit?

Yes. While the best time to fix compliance is before a lawsuit, documented training, certifications, and policy acknowledgments can still help show good faith and may support efforts to reduce penalties under New PAGA. Many clients adopt Cal Comply during or after a case to help reduce penalties and prevent repeat exposure.

I have an HR department and employee handbook. Isn’t that enough?

While an HR department and employee handbook are important, they often fall short in fully protecting your business from wage and hour lawsuits. Handbooks can be outdated, and HR teams may not have the time or resources to keep up with the constantly changing laws. Cal Comply supplements your existing efforts with up-to-date training and certification, empowers your team, and ensures your business is fully protected.

I’ve never been sued and I treat my employees fairly. Do I need this?

Short answer: Yes. Unfortunately, in California there are thousands of predatory lawyers ready to file lawsuits seeking penalties for everything from missed or untimely meal periods to inaccurate pay stubs or unsuitable seats. Although the harm from individual violations is often minuscule, the potential penalties from a lawsuit quickly exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Without proper training and documentation, one single employee can put your entire business at risk, regardless of how well you treat your team. 

How does Cal Comply help protect my business against a lawsuit?

Cal Comply provides comprehensive training that ensures your employees and managers understand and follow California’s wage and hour laws. When people are trained, compliance improves, and the number of violations decreases. Our platform documents every step of their training and certification, creating a robust paper trail that can serve as critical evidence in the event of a lawsuit. This documentation then serves as valuable asset in your defense against legal action.
