Labor and Employment Defense Associate

Labor and Employment Defense Associate | Fully Remote, Los Angeles | $225,000 to $260,000 The PAGA notice arrived at head office on a Tuesday, addressed to a manager who'd retired the summer before, and it sat in a tray marked Misc for nine days before anybody opened it. By the time it reached the general counsel a good slice of the clock had gone. They rang outside counsel that afternoon, and the file landed on the desk of an associate a couple of years in, who spent the next two weeks in two hundred employees' pay records and found the rounding setting on the time clock that had started the whole thing. The associate also found that the rounding went both ways, which became the best paragraph in the response. Files like that turn up all the time in this Los Angeles seat. Discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims from individual employees, in state and federal court, sit alongside class and PAGA wage claims. You'd do the written discovery and the depositions, your own included, the law and motion up to summary judgment, and some advice for employers between the claims. It's for an associate two or three years into defending employers, at a national firm, and the salary's $225,000 to $260,000. It's fully remote, for someone living around Los Angeles. You'll need the California Bar. I'm on 646 540 9647 and at https://calendly.com/arranjaiswal/15min, and unlike that notice, I'll get back to you the day it lands.
