## Definition

The Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) is a California law that allows employees to bring claims on behalf of the state against their employers for labor code violations. By acting as private attorneys general, employees can seek penalties for themselves and their co-workers, thereby helping to enforce labor laws when government agencies may lack the resources to do so.
