Hernandez v. SFM, LLC CA4/1
Ivan Vasquez appeals from a judgment entered after defendant SFM, LLC (SFM), the parent company of Sprouts Farmers’ Markets grocery stores, and plaintiffs Julio Hernandez, Carmen Valenzuela and Jeffrey Wasik (the Hernandez Plaintiffs) settled a case involving numerous PAGA and class action claims brought on behalf of all nonexempt California employees for violations of the Labor Code (the Hernandez action) for a total of $1,200,000. Under the terms of the settlement in the Hernandez action, the parties allocated $300,000 of the total settlement amount to the PAGA claims, and allocated the remaining $900,000 to the class claims.
In proceedings in the trial court, the parties to the Hernandez action filed bifurcated motions seeking the court’s approval of the settlement of the PAGA claims and the class claims.
