Our firm is located in Los Angeles, the social, economic, political and business center of Southern California. Los Angeles also serves as the heart of diversity, where many cultures live, learn and grow together.

12/16/2025

California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) has long empowered employees to sue employers for labor code violations, but it’s also faced criticism for excessive litigation and costly penalties.

Now, Assembly Bill 2288 is making waves. This new bill proposes adding injunctive relief to PAGA claims, allowing courts to order employers to change certain workplace practices, not just pay penalties.

If passed, AB 2288 could reshape how labor disputes are handled in California, impacting both employers and employees.

Independent contractor or employee?
In California, the difference can make or break your business’s compliance.

Since the passage of Assembly Bill 5, classifying workers has become more complex. Under the ABC Test, companies must prove that their contractors are:
✅ Free from control and direction;
✅ Performing work outside the company’s usual business; and
✅ Customarily engaged in their own trade or business.

Misclassification can lead to costly penalties and lawsuits, but it’s avoidable with the right legal guidance.

At Hackler Flynn & Associates, we help employers navigate AB5 and craft compliant independent contractor agreements tailored to your business needs.
