In their Reuters and Westlaw Today article, Berger Kahn Partner Erin Mindoro Ezra, and Associates Robert D. Chan and Ryan A. Johnson examine how electronic monitoring tools can expose employers to privacy claims – and what businesses should consider when balancing productivity, cybersecurity, and employee rights.

We’re proud to support and participate in the CCLN 2026 Annual Leadership Conference – “This is not a drill: React. Respond. Recover. (Repeat)” taking place May 6-8 at Paradise Point Island Resort & Spa in San Diego.

Partner Erin M. Ezra will be taking the stage alongside Keaton Young of Briscoe Economics Group, Inc. to present on a critical topic impacting nonprofit organizations: Wage & Hour Compliance and PAGA claims. 💰⚖️

For many nonprofits, compliance challenges can go unnoticed – until they become costly. From pay practices to classification issues, even minor missteps can lead to significant exposure. Erin and Keaton will break down key risk areas and share practical insights to help organizations better understand and navigate these complex requirements.

As a proud sponsor of this year’s conference, Berger Kahn is honored to support the California Community Living Network and the important work they do to serve communities across the state.

Attorneys Erin Mindoro Ezra, Heather C. Whitmore, and Ryan T. Fitzgerald examine a growing reality for employers: in 2025, more wage-and-hour class and collective actions were filed than any other category of complex litigation nationwide.

A recent $233 million settlement involving The Walt Disney Co. serves as a powerful reminder that wage-and-hour exposure is not only increasing — it is often uninsured. As the article explains, traditional policies such as Commercial General Liability (CGL) and Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) typically exclude wage-and-hour liabilities, and even when endorsements apply, coverage is often limited to capped defense costs only.

The takeaway: With limited insurance solutions available, employers cannot rely on insurance to manage wage-and-hour exposure. Proactive compliance and experienced counsel are more critical than ever.
