For national employers with workers in California, a single employee may now sue under the so-called "bounty hunter" law on behalf of all workers to recover state labor penalties for alleged wage and meal-break violations, without having to qualify as a class action, a state court has ruled. The results can be very costly for employers because the state's Labor Code imposes penalties up to $100 per employee for each violation, and $200 per employee for each pay period for continued violation.
