Estimated Amount
Varies
- Each Qualified Claimant employed on or after March 23, 2013 (i.e., the PAGA Penalty Period), shall be entitled to an equal share of the PAGA Penalty Fund remaining after payment of $7,500 to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency.
- Each Qualified Claimant’s allocation of the remainder of the NFV (after subtracting the portion of the PAGA Penalty Fund payable to Settlement Class Members) will be determined by multiplying the NFV by a fraction, the numerator of which is a Settlement Class Member’s number of workweeks during the Class Period and the denominator of which is the total number of workweeks during the Class Period of all Settlement Class Members. Workweeks shall be calculated from Defendant’s records, with Settlement Class Members given credit for each week they actually worked for Defendant in California as a full-time bank branch Store Manager in a Level 1 Wells Fargo Store at any time during the Class Period; and/or worked in a Level 2 Wells Fargo Store during the period of January 7, 2007, through November 1, 2013.

Plaintiffs also allege claims for “waiting time penalties” under California Labor Code § 203, failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements under California Labor Code §§ 226, 1174 and 1175, and violation of California’s unfair competition law under California Business and Professions Code §§ 17200, et al.
