Defense counsel
Stress-test the employer’s records, quantify exposure ranges, and organize cure or mediation inputs before opposing numbers harden.
PAGIQ forensic software
Neutral wage-and-hour analysis for attorneys on either side of the file.
PAGIQ analyzes payroll and timekeeping data, models California Labor Code exposure, and produces methodology-documented findings attorneys can use to evaluate a matter. It is software—not a law firm and not a substitute for counsel.

Who uses it
Built for attorneys evaluating the same records from different sides.
PAGIQ does not take a side. It surfaces what the payroll and timekeeping data supports so counsel can decide what the matter requires next.
Plaintiff counsel
Evaluate what the data supports, narrow weak theories, and prioritize the violation categories with the strongest record trail.
Firms advising employers
Add structured forensic analysis to consulting or compliance engagements without pretending the software is legal advice.
Capabilities
What the platform helps counsel examine.
Exact feature availability depends on the engagement and data provided. These are the analysis areas PAGIQ is designed to support.
Violation detection support
Meal/rest, overtime, wage-statement, waiting-time, and timekeeping pattern review from uploaded records.
Exposure modeling
Layered exposure views that go beyond a single headline PAGA civil-penalty number.
Documented methodology
Findings packaged with analytic process notes so counsel can evaluate defensibility and next steps.
Matter-stage flexibility
Useful for proactive reviews, notice response, demand triage, and active litigation support.
Boundaries
What PAGIQ is not
- PAGIQ does not create an attorney-client relationship with Easeworks.
- Privilege depends on how counsel structures the engagement and data flow.
- Outputs are analytic findings, not legal conclusions or court filings.
- Whether statutory penalty limitations apply remains a legal determination.
Service relationship
How PAGIQ relates to the Easeworks audit
Attorneys and firms can use PAGIQ directly. Employers who want Easeworks to gather records, run the analysis, and deliver a managed findings package should start on the PAGA audit page instead.
Same data, clearer math
The records either support the theory or they do not. PAGIQ is built to make that visible.
Use the software when counsel needs direct analysis access. Use the Easeworks audit when the employer needs a managed engagement around the same problem.

Before we begin
Questions that usually come up before the relationship starts.
01 Who is PAGIQ built for?
PAGIQ is built for California employment attorneys on either side of a wage-and-hour or PAGA matter, as well as firms that need documented forensic analysis of payroll and timekeeping data.
02 Is PAGIQ only for defense attorneys?
No. It is positioned as a neutral forensic instrument. Plaintiff and defense counsel can use the same analytic foundation to evaluate what the records show.
03 Does PAGIQ provide legal advice?
No. PAGIQ analyzes data and models exposure. Legal strategy, filings, privilege decisions, and court advocacy remain with counsel.
04 How does PAGIQ relate to AB 2288?
AB 2288 can limit recoverable civil penalties when an employer took all reasonable steps under the statute’s timing rules. PAGIQ can help organize the data and documentation counsel may use when evaluating that issue; it does not guarantee a penalty reduction.
05 Should an employer use PAGIQ or the Easeworks audit?
Employers who want a managed service should use the Easeworks PAGA audit page. Attorneys and firms that want direct software access should use PAGIQ.
