Recently, some courts in California had held that a lawsuit seeking liquidated damages for minimum wage violations were subject to a one-year statute of limitations. Assembly Bill 2074 was introduced in response to these decisions and clarifies that a lawsuit seeking such damages can be filed at any time before the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the underlying wage claim. This means that the statute of limitations can often be three to four years.
