Supreme Court of California Rules Employers Can’t Claim Ignorance on State Wage Violations
On August 21, 2025, the Supreme Court of California ruled that employers must demonstrate that they took reasonable steps to comply with minimum wage laws to mount a good-faith defense against liquidated damages. The decision in Iloff v. LaPaille overturned an earlier state appellate court decision. The Supreme Court of California also ruled, with respect to claims for paid sick leave, that there is no private right of action to recover administrative penalties.
