Model PAGA Settlement Agreement {LACIV298}

SCLAC CIV 298 - [MODEL] PAGA SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. This is a template developed by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, for resolving wage and hour disputes brought under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). The model agreement is designed for single-plaintiff cases against a single employer and provides standardized language for documenting settlement terms, including definitions, payment structure, and release of claims. It outlines how the gross settlement amount is allocated among aggrieved employees, attorneys’ fees, administrative costs, and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA). The form also addresses settlement administration, court approval requirements, confidentiality, and post-judgment procedures. Parties are expected to modify the template as needed and submit a redlined version showing any changes when seeking court approval. For Optional Use. www.FormsWorkflow.com
