Where can I get a daily CSV of California PAGA notices?
The state's free PAGA case search lists a day's notices, which you can print to PDF or Excel; it has no CSV button. Public Record Feeds emails a CSV built from that search every weekday evening, with a county column.
The two side by side
| What differs | The PAGA case search | The daily file |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Print to PDF and Print to Excel buttons on the results page, and no CSV button | A CSV attached to an email, with a download link that works for fourteen days |
| When | Whenever you run it | Every weekday evening, Monday to Friday. The Monday email also carries anything posted over the weekend. |
| Which notices | The submission type you choose, submitted in the date range you set | New notices that name an employer with a California address, leaving out any whose employer name reads as a person's name |
| County | No county filter. Each result gives the employer's city and ZIP code. | A county column, looked up from the ZIP code |
| Cost | Free | A paid subscription |
Doing it yourself
Open the PAGA case search, which the Department of Industrial Relations runs for filings submitted to the LWDA. Choose PAGA Notice as the submission type, set From and To to the day you want, and search. The results page has Print to PDF and Print to Excel buttons. The search says it includes most PAGA claims filed with the LWDA, and the agency posts some notices late, which is why this site's own pull searches each day and the three days before it.
Running the search yourself each day costs nothing. The steps in full are on how to check a company on the PAGA case search.
The daily file
Each evening's file holds the notices that reached this dataset since the email before, whatever their filing date, so it is a different set from a day's search results. A weekly plan sends one email on Mondays instead, covering the week that just closed.
The columns, a sample file and both plans are on the page for the daily and weekly file.
