CALIFORNIA STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

California wage and hour claims are subject to strict filing deadlines. Missing these deadlines can permanently limit or eliminate recovery.

• Most wage and hour claims: Recovery generally covers violations from the past three years
• Certain claims: Some cases may allow recovery going back four years, depending on the legal theory used
• Class and group actions: Follow the same time limits, with deadlines typically paused for class members once a case is filed
• Pay stub and penalty claims: May have shorter deadlines, making quick action important
• Ongoing violations: Each pay period can trigger a new violation, but older claims can still expire

Because deadlines vary by claim type and case strategy, acting early helps protect your rights and maximize potential recovery.
