Brooks v. AmeriHome Mortgage Co. CA2/6
Brooks was an employee of AmeriHome. In January 2019, Brooks submitted a PAGA notice (§ 2699.3) to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) alleging violations for failure to (1) pay minimum and overtime wages, (2) provide meal periods and rest breaks, (3) timely pay wages during employment, (4) timely pay wages upon termination, (5) provide complete and accurate wage statements, and (6) reimburse business expenses. The next month, Brooks filed a PAGA complaint in Ventura County Superior Court in case number 56-2019-00524903 (Brooks Action) alleging the same violations.
AmeriHome moved to stay the PAGA action pending arbitration of Brooks’s individual claims. Brooks filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin the arbitration proceedings. The trial court granted Brooks’s injunction and denied AmeriHome’s stay. AmeriHome appealed, and we affirmed. (Brooks v. AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC (2020) 47 Cal.App.5th 624.)
