Wage Law

The petition for review is fully briefed in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 25. Within three weeks, the court will grant review, deny review or issue an order extending their time to decide. So far, there are a dozen letters on file urging the court to review the case, including one from the California State Legislature and the Attorney General. If review is denied, there will be a lot of discussion about this case in your year-in-review seminars concerning employment litigation, wage and hour law and class action procedures. If review is granted, this will be the most highly anticipated wage and hour case since Gentry v. Superior Court (Circuit City Stores) (2007) 42 Cal.4th 443.
