#3 Employee Stock Ownership Lawsuit Unmasks Brazen Corporate Fraud

Santa Clara, CA A number of California employers are facing class actions or actions under the Private Attorneys General Act filed by employees seeking reimbursement for expenses incurred while working from home during the pandemic.
