Skilled Wage & Hour Class Action Mediators in Los Angeles, California

At Blue Sky Mediation Center, our Los Angeles wage and hour class action mediator knows these cases stem from many California employees who share the same or similar pay grievances against their employer and sue their employer collectively as a group.

Wage and hour class actions require special knowledge as a mediator, as they often involve thousands of putative class members, multiple firms and interested parties, and substantial amounts of money, making them considerably complex.

Our wage and hour mediator in Los Angeles County also knows most of these cases, including single-plaintiff, class action, collective action cases under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and representative cases under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA), are resolved by mediated settlements.

It is crucial to partner with a mediator who knows the class action settlement process and can structure the negotiations to include all the necessary documents and details for court approval. Courts are required to approve any settlement in a class action, and without the proper approach, the court may not accept the proposed outcome, requiring the parties to negotiate further. We can help your party get it right the first time so that you can put this class action suit behind you.

What Are Some Advantages of Wage & Hour Class Action Mediation?

During large-scale legal claims like class action wage and hour disputes, there are multiple benefits to seeking a settlement through mediation instead of litigating the claim inside a courtroom.

Mediation:

  • Permits both sides to avoid lengthy and expensive lawsuits.
  • Provides workers with more immediate and precise relief for their claims.
  • Addresses the defendant’s need to deter or prevent future claims.

The total damages are often much more significant during class action wage and hour claims, which raises the stakes for the employer, requiring swift settlements that are more likely to occur during mediation than at trial.

To ensure your California wage and hour class action mediation is handled precisely, choosing a mediator who understands the overall guidelines the courts may have regarding settlements is crucial. This can help to avoid a court rejecting a settlement, sending all parties back to the negotiating table.

At Blue Sky Mediation Center, our Los Angeles wage and hour class action mediator will prepare the damages calculations to adjust the variables for settlement approval as the negotiation progresses. This saves time, money, and the risk of rejection.
