- Submitting materials related to PAGA matters and related agencies
- Logging mediation fees, expenses, and preparing case cost details
- Researching federal, state, and local procedural rules
- Physically filing documents with the court when required
- Coordinating in-person depositions with administrative staff
- Tracking upcoming deadlines and issuing reminders
- Maintaining records of hearing summaries and meet-and-confer efforts
- Preparing time and task charts
- Assisting with appellate matters, including appendices and high-level filings
- Supporting class, PAGA, and individual payment processes
- Providing additional litigation support as needed
The Team Environment
- Mission-driven and focused on employee justice
- Collaborative, respectful, and team-oriented
- High standards paired with strong mentorship and support
- Open to feedback, ideas, and continuous improvement
- Actively involved in community-focused initiatives
Compensation and Benefits
- Hourly pay range of $25.00 to $28.00, depending on experience
- Comprehensive health insurance
- Paid parental leave
- Monthly team events
- Ongoing learning and professional development opportunities
- Supportive and inclusive workplace culture
- Snacks and amenities during in-office days
