Recently, some courts in California had held that a lawsuit
seeking liquidated damages for minimum wage violations were subject
to a one-year statute of limitations. Assembly Bill 2074 was
introduced in response to these decisions and clarifies that a
lawsuit seeking such damages can be filed at any time before the
expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the
underlying wage claim. This means that the statute of limitations
can often be three to four years.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
