Before you rely on this statement

  • This statement is a strategy and calculation aid and is not legal or financial advice or a prediction of any award.
  • It assembles components supplied by counsel (damages, an interest rate, penalties, multipliers and fees) into a single figure for negotiation. The availability of prejudgment interest, statutory penalties, enhanced or multiplied damages and fee-shifting varies by claim and jurisdiction and is often discretionary or capped.
  • Confirm each component and its basis, including every multiplier, statutory penalty and interest rate, against controlling authority before asserting it.
  • Confirm the pre-filled employment defaults against current statute and case law before relying on them: liquidated damages equal to the unpaid wages (FLSA; Lab. Code § 1194.2), the Lab. Code § 203 waiting-time penalty of the daily wage for up to 30 days, and the prejudgment interest rate and authority (Lab. Code § 218.6; Civ. Code § 3289).
