Book nowServices › California PAGA & wage-and-hour
PAGA notices are thin.
Law firms are expensive.
Sizing a PAGA claim can be costly, even when filings are generic. But most claims can be verified with just two datasets: time clock and payroll data. We analyze the claims and report your exposure, so you and your counsel can be prepared for mediation.
We work under the supervision of your in-house counsel.
The problem
Too costly for outside counsel. Too important to guess.
The records are easy to pull. But outside counsel associates bill hundreds of dollars an hour to review those records. Our AI-native system turns this on its head, offering a flat-fee exposure analysis rooted in your data.
How it works
What you sendIllustrative
The time and pay records you already have: time punches, pay stubs, payroll registers, shift schedules, timesheets, badge swipes, meal-break policies, handbooks and HR files.

Follow-up record checks

PAGA FAQs
Is ReviewDoc a law firm?
No. ReviewDoc is not a law firm and we do not provide independent legal advice. We perform factual analysis and reporting under counsel’s supervision. We do not appear in, file, or sign anything in your matter.
Do you replace outside counsel?
Not totally. We do the factual workup from your records in a cost-effective manner. Your outside counsel can continue to represent you in the case if desired.
What records do you need?
We primarily work from time punch and payroll data exported from our clients’ HRIS systems, but we also account for HR, hire, termination, waiver, policy, schedule, headcount, and location data. We will work with you to create a tailored data request at the start of each engagement.
How quickly can you start?
We can get started within a few days of the scoping call, and our reports are usually produced within a week.
Do you handle wage-and-hour claims that aren't PAGA?
Yes. Individual wage claims and class actions turn on the same time punch and pay records. We run the same pay-period reconciliation for your counsel.
Can you help before we get a notice?
Yes. We run pre-notice audits of your time and pay records for likely PAGA exposure, so your team finds pay and break issues before a notice does. We use the same model for our audits: a flat fee, quoted based on data volumes.
Received a PAGA notice?
We'll quote you a flat fee to review records, size exposure, and provide reports for counsel to use in mediation.
