PAGA 2026: What Restaurant Operators Need to Know (Webinar)
Jul

to Jul 22

PAGA 2026: What Restaurant Operators Need to Know (Webinar)

SABA-SC Past President Pooja Patel will be providing valuable advice in this webinar: PAGA 2026: What Restaurant Operators Need to Know

More than 10,000 PAGA notices were filed across California in 2025 alone. For multi-unit restaurant operators, that means a single recurring payroll, scheduling, or meal break issue can multiply into hundreds of violations across locations fast.

But the rules have changed. Courts are increasingly asking not just "did a mistake happen?" but "can you prove you took reasonable steps to prevent it?"

Join Samantha Gallagher, VP of Strategic Risk & Compliance at Harri, and Pooja Patel Senior Counsel at Sanders Roberts LLP, on 21 July for a practical session built for restaurant operators navigating California's evolving compliance landscape.

You'll learn:
🔹 What changed under California's recent PAGA reforms
🔹 The most common compliance risks in restaurants (meal/rest breaks, OT calculations, timekeeping, and more)
🔹 What courts want to see as proof of "reasonable steps"
🔹 How leading operators are using technology to build a defensible compliance framework
🔹Especially valuable for operators managing 10+ California locations.
