A PAGA period could refer to two things depending on what you are reading. When you initially submit your claim online to California's Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA), they have 65 days to review your claim. This period provides notice to your employer and gives the LWDA the chance to investigate the claim and pursue it independently if they do not take the case.
Second, aggrieved employees only have one year from the date of the last violation to take legal action against their employer, or they lose the chance to bring a lawsuit and recover compensation.
