In Kim v. Reins International California, Inc., the Court again expanded plaintiff’s rights under the Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”). The issue was whether an employee who settled his individual claims could continue with a PAGA claim.  The Court held that employees do not lose standing to pursue a PAGA claim if they settle and dismiss their individual claims for Labor Code violation. The PAGA claim which is a state action, can still proceed.
